ReadyDR always doing FULL backups after upgrade to 6.10.0...?
Greetings - anyone else experiencing this:
I'm using ReadyDR to back up several shares on my 626X to a 214 (over my LAN). It's worked fine for several months on 6.9.5, but after upgrading both ...

Apr 08, 2019Hi XtheUnknown, sorry for not having a solution, but let me recommend to delete one of your old backup jobs and (re-)create it from scratch to see, whether the issue will go away. Assuming a success, you can then decide depending on the number of jobs to continue troubleshooting or go with the suggested approach for the remaining backups.
Kind regards

No - that doesn't make any difference.
As most of my shares are set to weekly shapshots, the problem didn't become apparant until a week after I'd upgraded to 6.10.0.
The source machine is definately sending full copies every time - I'm still determining whether the target machine is de-duplicating the ReadyDR shares... During the copy, the partially copied share shows as "data" usage in the volume stats, but once complete, the usage shifts to show under the "snapshot" figures. My largest share (2.5TB) is now copying for the second time (there have been no changes to the source, so any incremental snapshot should be minimal) - I will know tomorrow if it is being recognised as a delta - If not, the target ReadyNAS will be close to 100% storage utilisation....
This is not funny.

Please check to see if you are running the Hotfix 1 to address this issue.

Hi OOM-9,
My servers had automatically applied Hot Fix 1 about 14 hours previous to your post appearing.
While I am glad that this has fixed the problem (as I am sure you expected it would) - I find it very disappointing that, after I reported the problem on Monday, no-one from Netgear either posted or PM'ed me to either get details (if it was a previously unknown issue) or let me know that it was being worked on. Adopting this approach would have saved me a lot of time and effort, and would be best practice.
