Some have run into an unfortunate bug in the 6.2.3/6.2.4 releases of ReadyNAS OS regarding backup jobs involving a USB device.Attempting to configure a backup job from or to a USB device will lead to being unable to continue in the job creation.Clicking the "Next" button will not continue.As a work around, please configure a false job from one share to another.This will allow you to click the "Next" button and proceed through the job creation wizard.Then click the "Back" button.Reconfigure the job with the USB device.Click "Finish" to confirm the job settings.The backup job has successfully been created.

I have the same problem.At first, I thought it might be something to do with another issue I have regarding a backup to USB in that I get error reports saying that the backup job has failed because the destination is read only yet the job has actually been completed.viewtopic.php?f=31&t=81109It only started a few days ago and has been running successfully for several months. I checked the backup job settings but could not see anything obviously wrong so I tried to create a new backup job to test if it had anything to do with the job settings that I could not see but got this problem.As the jobs are being completed, I don't really want to interfere too much so I won't use the workaround for now.

This is a work around but hopefully gets fixed by Netgear. I also have the same issue I have regarding a backup to USB in that I get error reports saying that the backup job has failed because the destination is read only,when USB drives are changed over.The USB backup job fails and will only run if I delete the current backup job and create a new one, then I can start a USB backup which will continue to run as scheduled daily until I swap USB drives, a real pain! Any suggestions?

Which filesystem are you using on your USB disks?

Good morning, I had the same problem, I can not use the advanced options "remove deleted files on the target" This is useful for creating a bachup exactly equal to readynas. If you do not use when I delete a file on readynas remains on target. For example, if I move a few files of a new cartel, the destination will find both the original files you copy them to the new folder.
Does anyone know how to solve the problem? Thank you.

use rsync as the backup protocol - specifying localhost (127.0.0.1) as the IP address.

Found the same bug on 6.2.4 using usb disks, using Rsync now as a workaround, but when will this be fixed?

You can use the workaround or upgrade to 6.2.5-RC1: http://www.readynas.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=154&t=78866
