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?

Is it revoked or something?
Can we downgrade to 6.8.1 without trouble?

It is not revoked, it is just an oversight.
Netgear recommends against downgrading, but some posters here have done it anyway (and were successful).

Thanks for your reply, StephenB!
I've sucessfully reverted to the 6.8.1 and now Veeam works fine.
It's sad, I liked new features of 6.9.0.
Will wait for any fixes / updates on the problem keeping 6.8.1.
