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! This is ridiculous, now all my FTP backup jobs are just re-running the same data and never get to the new data before failing out!

I have an NVX. I have about five jobs that are ruined.

I cannot recreate them, either. If I create a new backup job, when the screen loads I see all the proper options for this drop-down:
First time
Every week
Every 2 weeks
Every 3 weeks
Every 4 weeks
Every time

As soon as I change EITHER the source OR destination to FTP Site, the drop-down gets limited to "Every time!"

I went with Crashplan myself. The instructions here are quite good. Note you don't need to edit with vi, you can use notepad++.

All you need to do is copy the original linux file into a share, edit with notepad++ from there, and then copy it back.

but doesn't the superuser addon void the warranty?

The implications of installing EnableRootSSH are discussed in a forum post linked to from this page: http://www.readynas.com/?p=4203

Basically if you mess up your NAS operation with ssh, then you are on your own.

But ssh by itself has no effect on the hardware warranty. And even with software issues, it shouldn't have any effect as long as it is clear that your ssh use did not create the problem.
