Backup Job on Ultra
Can you point me somewhere that explains the proper format for the name of a computer from which I am trying to backup to the Ultra NAS, running 4.2.31. I have tried the computer's name, it's IP address as assigned by the router, its MAC address, all with all sorts of variations of slashes, dashes, and various astrological symbols. ReadyNAS doesn't like any of them, or at least says there are problems connecting.
Any help will be much appreciated.

200 pin. 667 (PC2-5300) and 800 (PC2-6400) mhz both work. I don't know the speed of the stock RAM (never owned an Ultra) - you could open up your unit can google on the part that you currently have installed.

If you are using Windows backup, then you need to create a network share on the PC (for the folder you want to back up).
Trying to be brief, I left out relevant details. Apologies.
I'd like to use a backup job on the Ultra to pull a copy of data from a Mac computer. In setting up the job, I am running into problems pointing the Ultra to the Mac. I don't have any trouble pushing from the Mac to the Utra, and I don't have any trouble with my 424 pulling from eiher the Mac or Windows machine. This is the first time I've tried to pull with the Ultra (or any OS 4 NAS); clearly the naming/addresses conventions are not the same.
Thanks.

I am thinking it's more likely that the Mac SMB server doesn't include SMB 1 (which is what 4.2.x NAS use).
See if you can set up the share to use NFS.
