ReadyNAS3200 Backup Job Failure

Byerleydm,

Make sure you are putting in the correct share name in the "path". If you wanted to backup your share to say the remote share "backup" in the "path" line enter backup

What protocol are you using for the backup job (e.g. NFS)?

At the end of step 2 you can "test connection" - it says it can connect to the remote share. But when you try to run the job it says it fails to connect to the remote share.
Here is the job configuration -
STEP 1 - Select backup source volume: c

Share SqlBackupsShare:
Path:
Login:
Password:

STEP 2 - Select backup destination

Specify where you want your backup data saved. As with the backup source, the destination path can be a share on this device or a path on a remote PC or device.

Remote: Windows/NAS (Timestamp)Remote: Host - NAS2
Path: FromNAS1
Login:
Password:

STEP 3 - Choose backup schedule

I would suggest using NFS rather than Windows/NAS (Timestamp). ReadyNAS units are Linux boxes so why not use a native Linux protocol for backups? You would need to enable NFS on NAS2 under Services > Standard File Protocols and under Shares > Share Listing > FromNAS1 > NFS.

I tried the NFS protocal first yesterday and could not get it to connect when testing the connection. I tried again this morning and it connected to the share, I was able to successfully run the job. Thanks for everyone's responce.
