ReadyNas backup since rel. 6.10.2 does not work again anymore
On October 4th 2019 I instlled the latest Firmware 6.10.2 and at that moment at least one Backup did run successfully. However: Again after 14 days, October the 18th 2019, my ReadyNAS Backups does...
Finally I solved the problem of the ReadyNAS backup with th Help of Netgear Support.
The problemat was solved as foolwos:
1. By changing the ReadyNAS Backup configuration as follows:
- by changing the 'Hostname' from a logical Name into the real IP address
2. By solving the real problem namely Not able to use Logical names as Hostname anymore.
- This was due to the fact that I had given the Netgear NAS an Fixed IP address which was within the range of the DHCP IP addresses. So I changed the DHCP range of IP addresses in the router into a range of free (not yet used) range of IP addresses.
Both problems were resolved.

As you know now, that's a mistake.
Though assigning the static address in the NAS also can lead to problems - particularly if you change your router. A better approach is to reserve the address for the NAS in the router, and use DHCP in the NAS. Most routers have that feature - Netgear calls it "address reservation", sometimes it's called MAC address binding/reservation, or ARP binding.
