Backing up Readynas 204 to Readynas NV+
I want to back up my Readynas 204 to my Readynas NV+. The 204 is running firmware version 6.3.5. I cannot find a valid combination of destonation host name and share name when creating the backup job. I am using:
host: //nas-F1-85-56/
share: backup/All
I think I have the host name right. I can change it (change // to / for instance) and hit "Test Connection" and receive a "Unable to connect to host" message with error code 707701001. Otherwise I get "Error connecting to folder" with error code 707701020. If I hit the "Next" button, though, the Host label turns red and stays red.
I have confirmed that the share "backup/All exists - I can access it from my Win10 computer. I have share permissions set such that anyone can read/write so no username or password should be required. Specifying the NV+ admin login doesn't solve the problem.
Any ideas out there? I will load firmware version 6.4.1 tonight in the off chance this fixes the problem. The release notes do not suggest this directly, at least for a Windows/NAS(Timestamp) backup.
Regards,
Peter
I installed v6.4.1 and changed the host name to the ip address. Rsync backup now runs successfully.

The hostname field should not have any /'s in it.
It could be the name of the NAS or alternately the I.P. address.

Normally you wouldn't put a // at the start of the host name (or / at the end). If removing the slashes doesn't help, try using the IP address of the NV+ instead of the name.
I'd use rsync for this btw.
