Nas &Ultra with OS6 Backup problem
Hi,
I've successfully installed OS6 on my Pro & Ultra.
Backing up to USB on the Pro & Ultra is a problem:
1. Is it possible to define either the rear left/right USB ports or the Front USB port as the backup destination?
2. I can define a USB drive if I treat it as a share. However, I have 5 USB hdds one for each day of the week. OS6 sees them as USB_HDD_1 through 5 each with a description (which can be changed). I can't rename them so my Backup Job becomes 'Destination no longer available' when I change drive.
3. This is why I it would be much better to backup to a USB port - does anybody know how?
4. Is the Backup button on the Pro & Ultra not functional in OS6 on these units? Nothing happens when I press it.
Many thanks,
David

I am seeing the same issue on a Pro2.
The USB is defined as either Front, Top or Bottom.
My Pro has front, left and right
I can't define a USB backup since I updated to 6.4.0-T??
Is there a way to force it to use the left and right USB's
I am going to try and move it to the front and see if I can at least define some jobs to run.
The drive is addressable from where it is in the back, I can copy and move files to and from it using the browse options but will not work for backups

Hey guys. See this link: USB-backup-on-OS-6-2-4-Ultra6-fails. The ports are not mapped correctly for legacy Ultra (6 in my case).
Hope this provides some guidance.
For the Ultra 6 you could try 6.4.0 beta.
