Good to know. I guess we won't use it then. I don't want folks accidentally opening and saving to the "-snap" shares. And I know they will! :wink: Seems like snapshots are pretty kludgy on the Pro. Am I missing something?

I haven't seen the unlink errors you report above. I am wondering if something more fundamental is wrong. Have you tried support?
Are you running the backup from the Pro-6 source or the RN102 target? And are you backing up shares or the volume? Last I checked, OS6 didn't allow choosing volume C as a remote Rsync backup source. So we're forced to run the backup from the Pro. Per your recommendations, I'd prefer running our backup from our RN104. I'll check and see if it'll work the way we want in 6.1.6.
I haven't checked with support as I find these forums very helpful but that's a good idea as well.
