All FTP backup jobs become Full = "Every Time" with upgrade
I just upgraded from 4.2.15 to 4.2.17. Now, all my FTP backup jobs have been changed to "Schedule Full Backup: Every Time." "Every Time" is the only option in the drop-down, so I can't fix them! Thi...

Warning: the reason this was taken out is because this behavior is actually pseudo-incremental and can have nasty side effects. Incremental backup was a side effect of having upload resumes enabled. With upload resumes enabled, the backup manager will try to resume uploading a file if a file of the same name on the destination side was smaller than that of the file on the source side, regardless of whether the rest of the file matches or not.
Firstly, it is really bad that there is no checksum validated, but for the time being I'm willing to live with that. This should be fixed though; how can one call this a backup solution.
Anyway, I do also want to thank you for finally re-enabling the crucial Incremental FTP in the meantime. Without it, my Readynas box is useless (what is a backup solution if you cannot back up remotely)
Now, I did install the add-on, but it does not appear to be working for me? (or at least, I can't see it working). I have a ReadyNas NVX with 4.2.17.
The firmware update or add-on image is valid. Click Perform System Update if you wish to install the image now.

I updated it three times in total
1. First, I noticed "The Toggle_FTP_Backup_Upload_Resume add-on has been successfully installed." followed by "Successfully enabled FTP backup upload resume."
I did not see any changes and decided to reboot the device.
2. I installed it again and now it said "Successfully disabled FTP backup upload resume." (ok, so the toggle is working)
3. Finally, I re-enabled it again (so I think) and saw yet another "Successfully enabled FTP backup upload resume."
Again, after a reboot I still don't see a change.
The “Schedule full backup” option still only has one option when you select Remote FTP; “Every time”??? :shock:
Please confirm how this should work and what we should expect to see. Thanks in advance!
