NV+ Backup to Mac Share
My Windows box that I had my Backup USB drive connected to recently crashed, so I moved the USB drive over to my OSX box. I'm trying to get a backup job to copy from my ReadyNAS share to my OSX shar...

Just tried disabling that, and I still get the same issue. It might be easier to just plug the drive directly into the NAS, but I was hoping to have it powered from a different circuit.
USB backup on the NV+ is also extremely slow.
You could try exporting with NFS instead of SMB. https://macvfx.wordpress.com/2014/10/14/nfs-set-up-with-os-x-10-9-mavericks/

I couldn't get my USB drive to export to NFS, but I was able to get another directory to export and the NV+ was able to connect. I did realize that my drive was formatted in NTFS, which OSX can't write to natively, which may be part of the problem. Not sure yet.
I'm still not sure why I can't get any directories to work over SMB though.

Installed the Trial software, was able to rename my drive (to get rid of the space, just in case it wasn't working), but still can't get this thing to export. I may just have to reformat it.
Question. If I copy all the data off of the drive, and then put it back under the new filesystem format, will the readynas pick up where it left off with the incremental backups or will it essentially start over with a full backup. Trying to figure out if it's worth my time to copy back and forth before doing the format.

If you are using the Windows timestamp method (which you probably are), then it depends on what the file timestamps turn out to be. It might copy them again.
