FTP Backup error
Firmware 6.9.2 Occasionally, FTP scheduled backup fails with the errors below. We scheduled the exact FTP backup activities with another client, and everything works: only the ReadyNAS fails. -----...
The bakcup is a daily backup (every 24 hours from 15.05 to 23.05).
Backup Job Type: Full
I could try a local ftp address, but I need the remote one to work.
This is the first time an application fails to connect or whatever other action with my ftp server, so I'm pretty sure it's a Netgear problem, but I'm not able to provide further details.
FWIW, I tried this with an FTP server over the internet, and I also got a connection timeout on a data transfer. The web ui log showed "Connection cannot be established" - though it was in the middle of the backup job, so that particular error is misleading.
The backup job failed at that point.I then re-ran the backup job and it worked correctly. I don't see anything useful in the log zip file. This particular server is fairly slow, so I am wondering if a timeout changed. Is the backup job supposed to retry (e.g., download resume)?
FileZilla transfered the files successfully the first time.
