Backup job shows "In Progress" but is taking DAYS (100GB backup)
Hello all, I connected an external USB drive to the front of my RN316 on Sunday morning and started at backup job. There is only 100 GB of data on the external. I made sure that I could access/...
You can cancel the job, then restart it. If you have the setting to incremental (full backup first time only), then it will simply continue from where it finished.
I guess waiting a few hours and looking at the "Consumed" column works as a progress indicator. No movement since my last post several hours ago. I guess the backup is stuck.

This is what I am doing. I definitely think it is the fault of the external drive. I restarted it right after my last post (2 days ago) and the backup has crept from 128.8 to 130.9. Only 30 more gigs to go! I am actually restarting it again this morning. Thanks to everyone for your help!
