Backup not complete again
I purchased my RN104 this week. It is a very nice NAS box for its price. It came with OS6.2 out of the box. I updated it to 6.22 then set it up with 3 - 4TB drives in raid5 and let it run over night ...

Not extensively. The RN104 copied ~850 files, a mix of DVD iso files and the small data files, out of the 1800+ that were in the source folder. And it would not resume backup until I changed the source folder. I hope that by removing the small data files (which are easy to move around) the iso files will all get copied.
I have checksums turned on from yesterday morning. And today I turned on NFSv4, it was turned off by default.

In the past I have moved about 3TBs from the PC to and from the Javelin without issue. So I rate that at a low possibility. The backup job is running again and has copied another 1TB since this morning, so it looks ok.
I spent the morning looking for NFS info and it appears the 8 thread count started when NFS came out. In general you need more threads with more users. So whether the issue is NFS thread count or not, I am getting the files copied.
Moving forward, what is needed to trigger the RN104 to do an incremental backup? Is changing 1 file enough?
