Rebooting. Looks like huge backup log files prevented the logs from being downloaded.
I've copied the huge backup job logs to the hidden .logs folder on the C volume and emptied the original on the 2GB root volume.

Hi JennC,

- I have no way to download the logs, as this seems to lock up the NAS.

- The NAS won't boot when my data drives are installed, so I am unable to SSH to it then.
Thanks for any suggestions,
Matt
