Readynas 9.6.5 - Backup Status: Fail: Failure during copy.
Hi
I have been running a daily backup between my two ReadyNAS 314 devices, however recently the job is erroring.
I get loads of cannot create file or directory errors - no such file or direc...
I think you must mean 6.9.5 in the title. Were there any changes in the NAS setup?
FWIW, I'd use rsync as the backup protocol, and not CIFS/SMB.
Hi,
Yes sorry I do mean that.
Why would suggest that? The backup has been working fine for us for months.
Thanks

Rsync copies the actual files and the linux file attributes. CIFS/SMB doesn't necessarily do that. I think it also does a better job of incremental backups.

Did it immediately fail after you upgraded to 6.9.5?
One option is to reset the file permissions on both the source and destination shares. Have you tried that?
You could also upgrade to 6.10.0 (since that is now released) - but keep in mind that you won't be able to downgrade once you do that.
- Hi,
I will try to reset the file permissions, do I just need to remove all permissions or re add them to the shares?
Thanks for you help so far
Thanks
