USB device name changed after update to 6.4.0 final
after the update from 6.2.5 the names of the external usb drives changed, so all backup jobs have to be changed. (RN104 , 4 disks WDC WD20EFRX-68EUZN0, ReadyNASOS-6.4.0)
Hi GH,
I have tested it several times and the names haven't changed. How many external USB hard drives are plugged in the NAS?
Kind regards,

Hello BrainL,
I use two external drives for backup, connected is only one at a time for the backup.
Did you do the update from 6.2.5 to 6.4.0 with the drive connected, I did it with removed external drives ?
Kind regards,
GH
Hello GH!
Exact the same config i have.
I have got a support ticket now and actually forwarded to L3 support.
Whatever it means. Still waiting and reporting if it is done.

NETGEAR Community TeamSame story here on the RN104. After updating to 6.4.0 the usb drive went from USB_HDD_2 to USB_HDD_3
I changed the backupjobs and still no go. Some editing in rsyncd.conf to fix it, but i noticed that rsync on USB_HDD_3 was disabled. Enabling it, and the lines apear in rsyncd.conf and backups are working.
Remark: My usb drive always stays connected.
