Which drives to get for new ReadyNas?
So I need a new NAS. This is going to be expensive... TL:DR at bottom of post A bit of background info first. I have an NVX Business edition that I've had for a little over 2 years. I got it wit...
Fine. Here is the whole list of information, condensed down into a single post.
Source = ReadyNAS NV+ (old unit, 4x 1TB drives, firmware 4.1.6)
Destination = ReadyNAS NV+ (new unit, 4x 2TB drives, firmware 4.1.7)
Protocol = CIFS
Source IP = 192.168.0.10
Destination IP = 192.168.0.11
Source share = test
destination share = test
When making backup job from frontview on old NV+ (firmware 4.1.6)
Using Firefox: Task is created easily, task runs when asked to run, files are copied properly.
Using IE: Task is created easily, task runs when asked to run, files are copied properly.
When making backup job from frontview on new NV+ (firmware 4.1.7)
Using Firefox: Task is created easily, task runs when asked to run, files are copied properly.
Using IE: Task cannot be created. Any and all attempts to enter in IP and share name result in failure, with the message "Error connecting to ///192.168.0.10/test" or equivalent. Starting the job despite warnings result in backup job failing.
Please ignore the fact that I am using CIFS, because it works just fine. I actually much prefer this to using NFS, because it supports at least a trivial level of authentication, which NFS does not. The problem is not related to using CIFS in any way though. Using NFS gives the exact same results.
Is this sufficient, or do you require more information?
