Backup Job stuck "in queue"
Hello,
We are having issues with our backup always being stuck in queue. I have deleted the files in /var/log/frontview/backup, deleted the jobs, recreated the jobs, created different jobs and they always go to starting for a few seconds and then go to in queue with the message "Backup job XXX is already in the queue. Consider adjusting the backup schedule." This is a readyNAs 516 running firmware 6.5.1. Log files for backup job are blank. I am thinking it might be a problem with a cron or something, but I am having a hard time understanding how netgear created these. When I run crontab -l logged in as root, I get "No crontab for root." Well if there are no crontabs running, why is it "In Queue." Where can I go in via SSH and see everything that is "In Queue", could it be some other item besides a backup job that is stuck somehow? Any help would be great.
Thanks!

Hi LoboBill
please check /etc/frontview/backup_jobs.conf , not / var/log/frontview/backup
all backup jobs are recoreded in /etc/frontview/bacup_jobs.conf
thanks!
