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 ...
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.
I've never had an issue with this in over 15 years of using Readynas products.

I get that. But you've been seeing it for several months now, and none of us know why. It seems to me you need to try something different.
You could try rolling back firmware to a version that were using before the problem started last April. If you are current, then
- 6.10.5 was released in May (too late to be the cause, even if you were running the beta)
- 6.10.4 was released in Dec 2020, so that's a possible cause.
So you could try downgrading to 6.10.3, and see if that helps.
