Do you still see this on ReadyNAS OS 6.6.0?

Hi:
I am not sure I understand.
when I check for updates on my RN204 it says I have the latest version. there has been no mention of os6.6.0.
is this a beta version?

Hello rodcrit,
Manual updating firmware can be done instead, you may see and download 6.6.0 from this link.

OK - have now updated my firmware to OS6.6.0
problem still exists - back ups run but do not do anything and do not complete. backup button on front of unit is blinking and it will remain in that state for ever more unless cancelled. page showing backups reports "in progress" for the selected backup - but will also remanin in that state for evermore.
this is not good.
have remade a backup script to see if that would solve the problem - but doesnt.
ideas please - my weekly backups are important.

It is production, not beta. Netgear generally announces firmware upgrades (with download links) first, and adds them to the update server a bit later (perhaps a week).
6.6.0 was released on Sep 29, and apparently isn't on the update server yet.
