If you are using the windows protocol in a NAS backup job....
Netgear has confirmed one problem here, and is investigating a second.

Hey, StephenB!
Could you please clarify, did Netgear confirmed the ReFs.SetFileIntegrity problem?
Thanks!

Oops- I had a brain fart. :smileyembarrassed: The confirmation was for a different issue.
I did ask them to look into the SMB backup issues, but haven't heard anything yet.

similar situation here with pro 6 firmware 6.9.0
incremental backup job scheduled just stuck with "processing" even the job has been done.
now reverted back to 6.8.1. but i hate the pop up notification that tells me to upgrade to 6.9.0.
how to disable this notification?

BTW I wonder why 6.9.0 is not present at the downloads section?
https://kb.netgear.com/20684/ReadyNAS-Downloads
Is it revoked or something?
Can we downgrade to 6.8.1 without trouble?
- StephenBOct 28, 2017Guru - Experienced User
It is not revoked, it is just an oversight.
Netgear recommends against downgrading, but some posters here have done it anyway (and were successful).

Same problem with RN102. Stuck in progress.

Some people said than they successfuly reverted the upgrade. Can you give the procedure to acheive that?
