Firmware 6.4.0 breaks backup log email
I recently upgraded my ReadyNAS 312 to firmware 6.4.0. I have a number of rsync backups that are working fine, but the 6.4.0 upgrade seems to have changed/broken the email notifications that get sent on completion of the backup job.
I have jobs set to report full backup logs and previously, I would see the normal success block of text, along with a dump of the fully rsync job. I use this to verify that the files I expected to change actually got saved.
Now with 6.4.0, I see the success notifications, but the rsync output is not present in the email. However if I go to the job on the admin page and click on Log, I do see the full rsync output. That's reassuring but I would like to get the rsync log output back in notification email. This seems like a regression in 6.4.0. Has anyone else noticed this? Do you have a workaround? Should I report this as a bug? (How do you report bugs?)
Thanks.
We should have found the root cause and a fix will be ready in next firmware release. Thank you.

I have a ReadyNAS 314 running 6.4.0. On it are some rsync backup jobs that push data across to a legacy ReadyNAS.
I just checked and the email report I get from the 314 does include the rsync stats:
Successfully completed backup job Push Photos To Pro4. -------- Backup Job Information -------- Backup Job Name: Push Photos To Pro4 Backup Job Type: Incremental Protocol: rsync Backup Source: [media]/Photos Backup Destination: [remote:rsync]/10.10.10.222::media Backup Start Time: Mon Oct 12 2015 16:05:09 Backup Finish Time: Mon Oct 12 2015 16:05:10 Backup Status: Success -------- Backup Job Log -------- sending incremental file list Photos/ Photos/this_is_a_new_file.txt sent 303,178 bytes received 772 bytes 202,633.33 bytes/sec total size is 27,299,747,116 speedup is 89,816.57
It's very strange. I do occasionally see the full rsync logs, but of the 6 jobs I run nightly, it happens at most to only one job, and even then the log is only included about once a week. And I know that more of the jobs have rsync updates.
We should have found the root cause and a fix will be ready in next firmware release. Thank you.
