Replicate timeout/no connection - Case #23506807

It seems to me that Netgear has put you in a catch-22 on OS4/OS6.

...What form of backup DOES work on a Netgear NAS?

I use RSYNC on my local LAN to back up my pro6 (OS4) to smaller NAS (an RN102 running OS6, a duo v1 and nv+ v1 running OS4). This is with Frontview backup, and runs very reliably. I run the backup jobs on the destination system(s)

Occasionally I have gone the other direction (from OS6 to OS4). These are "one-of" copies of shares, not part of my normal backup plan.

I also have CrashPlan running on the pro6, and it works well. Though I haven't needed to do a major restore (and it is something else Netgear doesn't support). CrashPlan might not be available to you (or might have slow connection speeds) if you are not in the US. Egnyte has a service you could check out as well. In my opinion it is expensive for home users, though my guess is you are a business user.

I also use Acronis TrueImage to back up PCs to the NAS on schedule. On some PCs there is a post-backup cmd script (using robocopy) that backs up some NAS shares onto internal PC drives. That works quite reliably.

I don't use disk encryption on the RN102, do not make OS6 snapshots user-accessible, and don't use home shares on any system.
