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.
Nope, the CLI (command line interface) is part of any Linux system. The ReadyNAS uses the Linux operating system. You can use the SSH protocol to reach the CLI.
If you go to the web admin page, you can simply enable SSH.
1. Go to System > Settings > Services.
2. Click on SSH.
3. When prompted with the support warning, click Yes if you are sure you want to proceed.
4. Select Enable SSH and Enable password authentication.
5. Click Apply.
6. You can now connect to the ReadyNAS through SSH as the root user.
Then use "Putty" to do SSH from your Windows PC. Putty is just one option but the most widely used.

When logging in over SSH, you need to use to the username: root
The password will be the same password as you use when accessing the web admin page (i.e. the admin password for the NAS).
The ReadyNAS uses all standard stuff. It is Linux based, it uses Samba for the SMB config, it uses mdadm for the raid config, it uses apache2 for the web admin page, etc. It is all standard stuff, which is really great cause it means that it will act pretty much like any other Linux system.

rn_enthusiast Great, thank you for all the info!
With current versions of Windows 10, you don't even need Putty, as the SSH command is now built into Windows.
