ReadyNAS 104 - Unable to sync to Amazon Cloud Drive: Unauthorized. It could be invalid user account
I have been quite happily using the Sync to Amazon Cloud Drive for the past couple of years.
I recently noticed it had stopped syncing, and checking the logs found an error System: Unauthorized. I...
Can you check if it's any better?
I removed the Amazon Sync details so presumably you'd need to start the sync again from scratch.
Also I noticed that when you updated from 6.1.9 to 6.2.5 back in March 2016 a one-off upgrade of your pre-existing snapshots did not take place/did not complete. I've now forced that upgrade and your system has been automatically pruning some of the old snapshots. This is gradually freeing up some space on your data volume.
Secure Diagnostic Mode turned on and PM'd port number to MDGM.
Thanks again.

Thanks MDGM,
I was able to re-enter my amazon credentials, configure my settings and it looks as though it might be starting to work.
Will have another look in the morning and see where it is at.
Thanks for fixing the snapshots. How long is the "Smart/Weekly" snapshot setting supposed to retain the snapshots?

Some "SMART" snapshots are retained forever - and that is why I don't use that setting. https://kb.netgear.com/24478/ReadyNAS-OS-6-Smart-Snapshot-Management
I use Custom snapshots instead - which allows me to set a retention limit. I take daily snapshots. For most shares I set the retention to 3 months, and also set "only take snapshots when changes". How much space this takes will depend on how much changes in your storage (file deletions or file modifications). I find on my system that I end up with about 3% overhead devoted fo snapshots.
Yup, looks like that worked beautifully MDGM!
Thanks for your help
