Backup is not incremental but always a full backup
Hi,
I have the issue, that my ReadyNAS 104 (v6.10.6) does always perform a full backup to remote destination ("Windows/NAS (Timestamp"). Source is a share on the NAS. I can see in the log that always all files are transferred. Even if no file was changed. "Schedule full backup" is set to "first time". I also tried to select "never". But no difference. I also tried to set or delete the Archive-Bit on the source files. But still no difference.
Destination is in fact a router (FritzBox 6660) with internal storage. Accessible via SMB (SMBv3 with NTLMv2). I also tried another FritzBox Router (7490) with external USB HDD. Still the same. ReadyNAS always performs a full backup - which really hurts due to the fact that the destination is behind a slow VPN.
I hope you could help me. Thanks a lot.

Have you tried comparing the file dates+times on the source and destination?
Sure. The timestamp is the same. I also tried (for testing purpose) the windows desktop program FreeFileSync for the same source and destination: That works as expected.
How is the destination disk formatted?
