Full backup only copies partial file set
I've just noticed, though no reason to suspect that the situation has changed, that a 'Full' backup of one of my shares to the ReadyNas backup share only does a partial copy. Tried reconfiguring the ...

You could also try a manual drag/drop from a PC and see what happens.
If you are ok with ssh, then alternatively copy the folder manually that way.

Ok I can drag & drop from the share to backup fine, but when I run the backup job & I allow it to delete the orior to running, it creates the same partial folder set as before. Its looking 'consistent', but I can't see the issue

I'm not seeing it either, it is a puzzle.
You could try changing the source share from local to remote (using the NAS IP or perhaps 127.0.0.1 as the host), and specify the same credentials you are using in the drag-and-drop. Perhaps use Windows (SMB) as the protocol, since that is what the drag-and-drop used.

Using the ip & credentials seems to be working. What is the difference between Windows (archive bit) & Windows (Timestamp)?
Cheers
