Backup not working

Thank you, I am in the process of trying to figure out rsync for NAS to NAS...although i guess thats really a workaround?

Not really, rsync has been the preferred method for ReadyNAS to ReadyNAS backups for a long time now (although admittedly, the backup manager should say Windows/Timestamp instead of Windows/NAS (Timestamp) ). Using rsync is pretty direct, using CIFS is basically asking the server NAS to try to be a Windows machine and the client NAS to pretend that the server is a Windows machine. With rsync, there is a lot less pretending going on. :)

Anyway, what do I do about backing up other computers.....not the NAS.....where the exact same settings produce a fail on 'test connection' on the sparkling new NV+ and works fine on the old NV...same folder names, path names and syntax, sharing enabled on folders to be backed up, etc. Literally, i have two screens open...NV and NV+. NV works fine; NV+ fails. Note also, the shares are added to the NV+ with "Default access" as they were added on the NV

That's strange, if it works on the NV, it should work on the NV+. Are they using different firmware revisions?

Any ideas? I have 24 hours left to return this thing; neither nas to nas nor nas to computer backups work properly; there is apparently a workaround i have to figure out for nas to nas...not off to a great start here.

If you're in a rush, I'd suggest calling the phone number in my sig and speaking to one of our tech support guys who can help you with this in real time.
