ReadyNAS 102 replicate not doing incremental, only full backup
I have a pair of 102's with 6.2.5 firmware nas1 and nas2. I created a job with Replicate to backup a folder from nas1 to nas2. I ran the job and it performed a full backup. I run the job again it s...
Yes, it pulls them from the previous backup.
Here's a bit of an update.
When it upgraded to 6.4.0 the NTP service failed to start so never got the right time. I edited the 2 netgear ntp servers (swapped them around) and saved and the ntp service started and corrected the time. Now the backups have a correct date/time stamp.
The original problem still exists - it does a full backup each time even though the job report says full on the first and not on subsequent backups.
Has anyone else got any ideas on how to get incrementals working as the gurus haven't replied yet?
Thanks
It does do incremental backups, but it also makes copies of files that haven't changed. These files don't consume additional space. When you go to restore a Replicate back to a unit, it will only have to access one folder of files rather than jump around from different backups.
