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 ...

update time again.
I finally was successful getting the remote: Window/NAS backup to connect. AND it did a complete backup without missing any files.
Originally I was following the instructions from: http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/23424/~/how-do-i-configure-the-remote-source-or-destination-for-a-job-on-my-readynas-os, that says:

8. In the Path field, enter the folder path.
If you select a Windows protocol, use a forward slash (/) to separate directories, for example:
/<share name>/<folder name>

agree documentation is very poor given it is a key feature, end result user is left to trial and error. I got this working for my PCs including 64bit windows 7:
host can be ip address or computer name
path should start without /
username / password should be a user on the PC in question with admin privilige. I didn't need to fiddle with the homegroup settings either as indicated elsewhere.
example:
host = 192.168.11.4
path = Users/PC/Documents/Paul/CV
user = johnsmith
password = example
Which worked!!!
