Basically, the 4.1.7 update breaks compatibility with IE9. Any backup jobs made with IE9 refuse to work properly. Be it CIFS or NFS, it makes no difference. Make the same job in Firefox though, and everything works great. 4.1.6 Works fine with IE9, but update to 4.1.7 and the GUI to add a backup job changes, and stops working. Opening it in Firefox shows the GUI as it was in 4.1.6, and it works.
So now, in addition to Opera not working with ReadyNAS, IE9 is useless too.
I will need to test with IE8 to see if the same happens there.
Oh, and I tested the NFS backups. Couldn't get it to work with passwords, so that's not good enough. Will be sticking with CIFS until I find a better solution.
NFS doesn't use passwords, you need to configure which hosts have access.
I'm also not entirely sure what the error is you're experiencing, because I literally just before typing this reply created a backup job on 4.1.7 using IE9 and ran it, worked fine. What exactly is it that's somehow not getting saved?
