Apparently conflicting backups causing crash
Hi I have a ReadyNAS running ReadyOS 6.9.1 that is dedicated as a backup server to back up a couple of other units via Rsync. These backups are done every hour, 24/7. This has been working fine for ...
Is your local backup set up with a local source and a remote destination? Or is it the other way around?
If you have a local source, the NAS should be making a snapshot of the source, and then backing up the snapshot. The snapshot is deleted when the backup completes. That should avoid your issue.
Hi
The local backup is set to a local source and local distination (i.e. an external usb disk).
Hmm, I'm not sure that the backup of multiple shares to disk at the same time is working. I tried to start one after the other from the web interface and get an indication that three jobs are in progress. I thought they would be queued. I also am getting a msg on the front panel that says "mb_cache_entry_insert+54". And the backups are taking an inordinate amount of time.
BTW I should mention that this is on a legacy Pro 4 machine. So maybe there is not perfect support for the hardware? At any rate, I think I am on my way to another crash. I just rebooted.
Possibly you are running out of memory? The Pro shipped with 1 GB, the current OS-6 NAS ship with at least 2 GB.
