One can close off this post as "Resolved" I have worked out the issue.
- My issue was self inflicted. I discovered, that the "Test" folder I was looking at on the USB_hdd_1 was a standalone folder I created for a different job. The Main Rsyn Job wasn't even looking at it hence the reason nothing was changing (oops). :smileyfrustrated:
- I have since being informed by Netgear Support that the "Pop Up" window in Backup/Advanced doesn't work. Its not a deal breaker as long as one knows how to Exclude a Folder. This is easy enough by just Typing the name of the Folder OR Path to Folder and adding.

Have you tried clearing your web browser cache, closing your web browser then reopening the web admin page and checking again?

Did you read original Post?. I tested using 3 Browsers and also on 2 different PC's! How can clearing Browser Cache assist.?
PS: I refuse to ever clear my Browser Cache and it being used as an excuse. I like my Browser Cache. One can always Refresh which will do much the same.
To be certain: I work around this by using a Different Browser OR different PC :-)
Cheers
