Passive FTP backup?
I cannot get my 424 to backup to a passive FTP server. For some reason I get the following log: Backup Start Time: Tue Jan 14 2020 8:14:02 AM Backup Finish Time: Tue Jan 14 2020 8:14:02 AM Bac...

I think you mean server?

I guess the question here is what could be going wrong.
The NAS backup job uses normal FTP, not SFTP or FTPS. So it won't request explicit encryption or handle implicit encryption either. So that is one possibility.
Another possibility is related to masquerading. Some clients (FileZilla is one) can detect that masquerading is missing, and can substitute the correct IP address. But this would only happen if the FTP server is behind a NAT firewall - which it apparently isn't.
It might also be a simple misconfiguration - for instance if the destination path in the backup job were set incorrectly.
Is the server under your control? It might be helpful if you could see its logs (it might show you the specific command that is failing). As I mentioned before, looking in the full log zip of the NAS might also help you isolate it.

That's of course part of it. But can you also upload a file to that folder?
