You can't downgrade from 6.4 beta, so it is wise to be cautious.

You could upgrade to the current production firmware though (6.2.5).

Restoring to factory default and updating to 6.2.5 is on my list. Right now my backup enclosures are in use getting some 3TB drives toture tested prior to installing in the RN102.

Restored to factory default, updated firmware to 6.2.5, then restored from previous configuration. So far so good. usb_hdd_1 was recognized without having to redfine the backup paths.

Hi NASklr,

Thank you for the feedback. Just let us know if you encounter such problems again with the USB path on your backup jobs.

I can now confirm updating to 6.2.5 firmware took care of my issue. Due to drive upgrades I was back to scratch on all my backup jobs. Since I swap backup drives out every month it took a number of months before I had reconnected both backup drives at least once.
