Backup to USB failing
Hi There one of our customers has a ReadyNas Duo that we run network backup's too, these work fine. We have had continual problems with scheduled backups to USB drives plugged on the front of the device. The backups fail after running for about 15 minutes. Start a manual backup on the same drive without changing anything will then work??

- I am having a similar problem. Powered external 1TB drive that has been working perfectly well for almost a year (daily backups), is visible in Frontview, is visible as a share from clients on the network, access light blinks happily during the backup (incremental), then fails "due to unknown reason".
I have attached the drive (NTFS) to a PC and did a full dskchck fixing errors, did a defrag, did a full AV scan - there is nothing wrong with the disc and I have changed nothing on permissions. I have also re-installed the NAS firmware (version 4.1.10).
Over the past few weeks backups have sometimes failed, but usually worked, and like AMAEngineer found that if I ran the backup job manually it generally worked. But now I cannot get them to work at all.
External drive is a Seagate ST310005 28AS in a powered Highpoint housing.
