Thanks for the suggestion though, anything else I could try?

This suggestion will require ssh.

 

The poweroff script checks for running backup jobs using this check:

  # Check for running backups.
  if grep -q 'IN_PROGRESS' /var/log/frontview/backup/status*; then
    OK_TO_HALT=0
    CAUSE="backup job `grep -l 'IN_PROGRESS' /var/log/frontview/backup/status* | sed 's/.*status_backup_//' | xargs echo`"
  fi

This is intending to search files like

1. status_backup_001
2. status_backup_002
3. ...

for "IN_PROGRESS".  If it sees that string in any of those files, it holds off the shutdown.  Though the search is broader than needed (all files that start with status are being scanned).

 

status_backup_XXX seems to be renamed to backup_XXX_status in the log zip.

 

Backup jobs on all my OS 6 ReadyNAS start with 001. So one puzzle is why status_backup_000 exists at all.  I don't program the backup button, so one possibility is that 000 is used for that???  Just a total guess.

 

One thing you could do remove all backup jobs from from the backup button sequence (just in case the guess is correct).  Then enable ssh and rename /var/log/frontview/backup/status_backup_000 to xstatus_backup_000.  Reboot the NAS, and the power schedule should then work correctly.  After you've confirmed that, you can re-add the backup jobs to the backup button sequence.
