Problem with Replicate across WAN
Hi I have a problem with backing up across the WAN using the "replicate " software" it has been generally reliable (I only have one active job setup)- but recently I am getting a failed status ...
OK - this is sorted now
like most problems - there where "wheels within wheels"
my attempts to diagnose and solve the problem were hampered by the fact that IE 11 does not work with netgear replicate portal (tbh I did not try compatibility mode I just used chrome)
IE would not allow me to select the file system of the NAS boxes -so I could not edit the replicated job and simply select resume from an earlier working backup
I could restart the job from scratch - but it was over 450GB big, and did get a "failed error anyway (after a couple of days copying) - which is no great surprise tbh
meanwhile I also got the seemingly very common "cannot locate the P2P local address" - so I was actually going backwards - i.e. the NAS boxes could no longer communicate to one another
I rebooted the local one to me, and got the datacentre to reboot the remote - ran a small test job (using chrome) and it worked!!!
then I edited my main job to resume form an earlier successful job (using chrome as this was not possible with IE) and it worked - copying on the delta 3 odd GB of changes
