Hi Marto,
thanks for your response. I must admit, this is disappointing. I already mentioned in my post that support is refusing to help because of OS6 on OS4 platform, so when you responded nonetheless I had my hopes up for a short while. Can't you at least give a statement regarding the error (missing symlink) that I'm receiving on the RN314?
I'm really not sure what to do now:
- According to Netgear, I shouldn't use replicate in mixed environments, e.g. with OS6 on one device and OS4 on another
- Netgear is not willing to provide OS6 for old devices
- Replicate is not working and Netgear won't give support (not even for problems that appear to involve only the RN314, i.e. connection not at all possible).
- And regular backups in a LAN are also not working, see here: http://www.readynas.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=77118. If they were, I could just set up my own VPN between the two networks.
What form of backup DOES work on a Netgear NAS?
