Backup error 'destination is read-only', 6.2.3 (Beta 9)
ReadyNAS Ultra 2 Plus
OS 6.2.3-T1751 (Beta 9)
I connected the backup USB3-drive to the front USB3-port.
One of the six backup jobs now get the "Backup: Error backup job 'xxx': destination is read-only".
Files have been copied though.
The backup_002.log file says "status: 13".
The backup_002_error.log file is empty.
I did not run this now failing backup job on all previous Betas, so no track record.
To get pass this problem I deleted the backup job and the destination folder and
created a new backup job with the same source and destination.
Another thing to be mentioned that I think has been there for a while:
In the Backup tab there is the Status column. If starting several jobs they are put in "queue" state and executed
one at a time and get "in progress" state. Often when a job is comleted there is no "completed" state. To know which
jobs is comleted you have to use the refresh button.

- What filesystem is on the USB disk?
- File system on the USB3 disk is NTFS.
- Try plugging the drive into a windows system. It will likely want to do a repair - if so, let it.
Generally this happens if the "dirty" bit on the USB drive's file system gets set.
