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 p...

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.

Is the Ultra 6 different from the Ultra2 and Pro2 for usb port mapping?
- mdgm-ntgrSep 28, 2015NETGEAR Employee Retired
Yes. The 2-bay legacy x86 units have a USB3 port for instance whereas the other legacy x86 units have none.
In any case even if the port maps were the same as the Ultra 6 (they are not) they would have to be defined separately in the port mapping configuration.
