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 ...

I agree with your suggested procedure but therein lies the problem, I don't use an administrator password. When I follow your (and mine) steps, I get a Username and/or password failure on the Test Connection. When I execute the backup - failure to mount source error. I was able to get around the Test Connection failure by using a full path name (Users\Myaccount\SourceFolder) but it appears as if the backup job doesn't find nor use a source yet executes without a whimper. According to the experts if the Control Panel --> Network and Sharing Center --> Advanced Sharing Settings is set to Off for Password Protected Sharing one should be able to do this without a password. I am of the opinion that Netgear has a bug in this area. I have no problems creating and executing a backup job from the ReadyCLOUD app interface but it won't work from the Admin page interface (the word FrontView no longer exists in the Netgear vernacular). I will try creating the same backup job on my tablet that does have an Administrator password but after spending 20 hours trying to get this to work, I need a break.
