ReadyNas DUO backup error - 'read only file system'
Hello community, I hope you can help me with an issue i'm having with my ReadyNAS Duo (v1) running Raidiator 4.1.14. At night it runs a backup job which copies a folder from a computer on the LAN...

Hi joah,
Aside from trying StephenB and JennCs suggestions, if you will create a test share, can you tell us if you will experience the same read-only behavior?
Looking forward to your response.
Kind regards,

I don't know what is causing it - but I am wondering if resetting the file ownership/permissions on the backup share solves it.

I'm afraid resetting the ownership hasn't helped.
One odd thing I noticed is that the first warning email arrives at 02:39 at night. But the backup is scheduled to start at 04:00. So it seems to be failing before it has even begun? The next couple of emails arrive at 05:35, 08:50 and 12:03.
- joahFeb 10, 2016AspirantI noticed another email sent at 04:09, containing just two lines like this: .
cp: cannot open '/job_001//_Projecten/./OBB_Zoetermeer folders/~folder_v0.1~07$hih.idlk' for reading: Text file busy
Which might actually be correct since these were documents currently opened and unsaved in InDesign. I usually leave my computer running overnight with programs and documents opened.- StephenBFeb 10, 2016Guru - Experienced UserYou need to stop doing that if you want the backups to work.

This night I got only one email, at 4:09, which seems correct. It contains just two lines pertaining to the files in use. So, it looks like the new share fixes the problem. I'll have to wait and see if this solution actually holds up, but it looks good for now.
