SMB Protocol 3.1.1 and Windows 10
I'm refrencing this article to lower the SMB version to 2.0 for Windows Backup and Restore compatibility. When I launch the SMB Plus application the dropdown says SMB 3.1.1 is for Windows 10. Is this true? I guess I could find out and try, but wanted to ask here as I would prefer to use 3.1.1. See attached file
Thank you
I believe it was true back in 2016, but I suspect Microsoft resolved the issue after that.
I suggest just trying the backup with SMB 3.1.1, and see if it works.

Yes it worked just fine. I'm assuming if it didn't I would have gotten a connection error?
The backup would have failed - not sure what the error would be.
Thanks for posting back, it's good to know that workaround is no longer needed.
JohnCM_S , Marc_V - It looks like this article needs some updating: https://kb.netgear.com/24913/How-do-I-back-up-my-Windows-PC-to-a-ReadyNAS-OS-6-system-using-Windows-Backup-and-Restore
Yes I do have it pre-installed here on Windows. Thanks everyone for the info
