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 installed v6.4.1 and changed the host name to the ip address. Rsync backup now runs successfully.

host: //nas-F1-85-56/
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.

Thanks. I was able to successfully set up backups and I switched to rsync as well.
