Hi all, For many months now, I have been using SyncBackPro to backup files (mirroring) from computer to my ReadyNAS Ultra 2 with no issues. Since few days, without any change anywhere, automatic backup cannot access the folders without me having to turn OFF then ON the CIFS service, or to simply reboot the ReadyNAS.Once done, the backup runs perfectly. What might have changed to suddenly request such restart/reboot? Thanks for your help, Lim.

What firmware are you running? It sounds like the SAMBA service in the NAS is crashing. You should download the log zip file, and look in there for errors that might be causing this. If you can't make sense of the logs, you can ask the mods ( JohnCM_S or Marc_V ) to analyze them for you. The way you do this is to upload the log zip file to a cloud service (dropbox, google drive, etc). Send a private message (PM) to the mods, asking them to analyze. Include a download link to your logs, and also a link to this thread in the forum. You send a PM using the envelope icon on the upper right of the forum page. DON'T post the download link publically.

Conversion to OS6 wipes the drives, so you lose your configuration, data, and any apps. You cannot restore a saved RAIDiator configuration to an OS6 NAS. so write down anything you need to. Same with apps, write down anything you'll need to duplicate. And, of course, back up your data for restoration after conversion.

CIFS needs to be restarted or ReadyNAS needs to be rebooted

  Hi StephenB,
  
  Thank you for your help.
  
  The firmware is RAIDiator 4.2.31 which is said to be the last curent one by the auto-update feature.
  Something I forgot to mention is that the NAS is setup for a turn off at night and turn on in the morning. But it was already the case when everything was running without trouble. No change on that point.
  
  I'll follow your advice to decrypt the log.
  
  Thanks,
  
  Lim.
