Back-Up to USB Error

I expanded my discs from .5TB to 2TB each. I needed to factory reset the ReadyNas to expand the memory. I saved and reinstalled the former config file.

I'm now trying to use the front port to do a back-up to my 2TB USB.

I keep getting the following error when I try to do so.

I cleared the USB cache with this add-on: http://www.readynas.com/download/addons ... ge_0.1.bin

I reformatted my external USB drive using exFat (or something like it using my Mac disk utility).

I did clear out 10+ users I had which included names like hdd_3 etc. as I thought these were from legacy drives. Do I need to add the drive as a "user"?

The error I get is as follows:

Job: 003
Protocol: local
Source: [music]/
Destination: []/


Backup failed. Thu Feb 27 09:30:34 PST 2014.
Reason for failure:
The backup destination is a non-existent local share.
