Issues with Ready NAS 314, destination is read-only
Issues with Ready NAS 314, destination is read-only.
Firmware 6.1.9
Seagate 4TB USB 3.0 HDD ST4000DM
NAS set up with 3 shares (Tech, Manager and Marketing). Our marketing department has 5 users that share this NAS and they all connect to these shares thru afp.
We recently purchased a Seagate USB HDD to back up the files on the NAS once per week.
I have 3 backup jobs running 2 on Saturday and one on Sunday. The 2 jobs that run on Sat are smaller and are for the tech and manager shares). These backup jobs run with no problem. The backup job for the marketing Share is the largest of the 3 shares and takes about 55 minutes to backup. The Issue I am having is that the backup logs tell me the backup failed destination is read only. Although it appears that the files copied successfully. Don’t really know a way to compare what is in the NAS and what is on the external HDD to see if everything copied. It appears that everything copied. But I still get the FAIL in the log.
See below for a copy of the Backup Log!

- I had the same issue. Simple fix - just have the NAS reformat the drive and then you will be good to go. I chose NTFS, I've seen others that said EXT4.
Jeff - Usually this happens when the "dirty" bit gets set on the drive. Connecting it to a PC and letting the PC repair it is the easiest way to fix it (and shouldn't lose your data).
