Can't backup to FTP
Hi,
I've got two RN10400 with three 3TB HDDs in each. One is for photos and music, the other serves as backup place. At first I wanted to use built-in ReadyNas Replicate function for backup purposes but since it requires license key to work (after 45 days trial) I decided to try FTP.
I thought that when I enebale FTP in one of them, I'll be able to create backup job and send all the files from one to another via network. Unfortunately, when I set everything up the job always "fails during copy" (with no other information given). Even though the source one can see the destination one and "test connection" runs without errors.
Any help pls?

But the network backup built into frontview does file copies, so you can make sure the files (and paths) match exactly.
