For anybody experiencing an issue with backup jobs remaining in "in progress" on SMB timestamp backup jobs, we have posted a hot-fix to resolve that issue, and your system should be automatically updated some time in the next week. If you'd like the receive the update immediately, you can reboot your NAS and it should be updated within 15 minutes.

I've seen a couple of reports of failed backup jobs using SMB, and have suggested to Netgear that they should follow up.
In the meantime, I suggest putting the PC user credentials into the backup job, and see if that changes anything.

6.9.0 add encryption feature on SMB Setting.
Did you set SMB encrypton as Desired or Requrired?
If set SMB encrypton as Desired or Requrired, it won't allow Anonymous access.

Do you mean that explicitly setting "Disabled" (see here to understand why I ask this silly question WRT the issue reported) on each Share will be temporary workaround?

SMB encryption default is default Enable, it doesn't required encrypt,
I saw rodcrit report " I find that it is reporting invalid user name or password. my PC access is not protected by user name or password",
so I ask him if set SMB encryption as "Desired" or "Required",
for SMB backup issue, I reproduced it on my Windows 10 and RN102 (6.9.0).
