Backup from NAS -> external USB?
Hi, just got the ReadyNAS Duo v.2 and trying to setup an automated backup job.
I have a share on the NAS called "MEDIA". Herein, I have sorted folders with photos that I want to backup to an external USB drive. E.g. Backup source MEDIA/Photos and Backup destination "USB drive"/Photo backup.
Problem is that when setting up the backup job, I cannot select anything else than the root folder of the USB drive as destination folder. On the right hand side in Dashboard there seem to be options for selecting this and also testing the connection etc, but these fields are all greyed out.
What am I missing?

- This is a issue in 5.3.3, it does not display "USB folder" in Frontend's shares, so "Share: USB folder"(example, Share: USB_FLASH_1) which support select path on USB device does not display in backup source and destination, the function is OK in 5.3.1 and 5.3.2, only occur in 5.3.3, it will be fixed on 5.3.5.
If you select USB Device in backup source or destination, it will only backup to the root of the usb hard drive, - Ok, so how long can I expect this to not work as it used to? There are quite many annoying bugs with my new NAS.
