Readynas Backups
I am having issues with files being backed up from my windows 2019 server to a ReadyNAS 316.
Nothing shows up in the log and only some files seam to be the issue. In the example below I am showing JPG files that have a zero file size once they are copied from the server to the NAS.
Firmware version is 6.10.5 hotfix 1

Can you copy one of them manually, does that transfer ok?
How are you backing up the files? A NAS backup job, or some other way?
If a NAS backup job is being used, what is the backup protocol?
Copying from the server to the NAS work fine. I have been using a software call beyond comapre to reconcile the files that are not baking up correctly. The back job is using the built in backup utility on the Readynas using the windows timestamp.

You reported this a couple months ago, but we never isolated the root cause.
Personally I use backup tools on the PCs that have the NAS as a destination, and don't use the backup utility for this. I do use backup jobs for NAS-NAS, and they use rsync.
