Yep, totally similar to this other thread. In my case Backup Jobs from NAS to External USB disk are still OK after 6.8.1 -> 6.9.0, 6.9.0 seems to have affected Backup Jobs having a CIF Share as Source on a Windows host and a CIFS Share as Destination on the NAS only.
Definitely a bug...

if destination is cifs share on Windows, than it is also affected.

Both of you are running Windows 7, correct? It'd be useful to know anyone running Windows 10 is also seeing this.
Also, how is SMB3 transport encryption set on your NAS?

Yes, Win7 Ultimate, SMB3 enabled. Backup of home directories on the same NAS to another share is working.
