SMB Protocol 3.1.1 and Windows 10
https://kb.netgear.com/24913/How-do-I-back-up-my-Windows-PC-to-a-ReadyNAS-OS-6-system-using-Windows-Backup-and-Restore I'm refrencing this article to lower the SMB version to 2.0 for Windows Back...
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? I was more worried about the data being corrupt. I downloaded the newest manual and it somewhat differs from that older article. Thanks for your response StephenB

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
By the way, if you want to see what SMB version the client is opting to use, then you can see it by running this command from the CLI of the NAS - while the client is connected over SMB.
