RN 104 won't run backup & locks up after 6.4.1 update
I updated my ReadyNAS 104 from firmware 6.2.4 to 6.4.1 and a scheduled backup job could no longer run. The destination was a Seagate Go-Flex drive with USB 3.0 connected to the front USB port on the ...

This leads me to believe that there is a problem in the backup procedure to USB that in some obscure cases (like e.g. a very deep dir structure with extremely long file names) will switch on the "read-only" flag on the USB drive.
That sounds like a reasonable hypothesis. There is of course a 260 character limit to the qualified filename size, and that can get in the way when copying over the network.
It does sound like a bug in the paragon software in the NAS though. If you can reproduce this (short of a full windows backup) you might want to PM skywalker.
It does NOT turn the "Read Only" flag on.. It does lock up the backup program, but I can still browse to the USB drive and copy over files manually. However, I can't shut down nor reboot the NAS because the OS thinks there is a backup still running, and I have to unplug the NAS to shut it down. And this ungraceful shutdown while the OS thinks a backup is still running does render the USB drive unmountable requiring a disk check under windows to repair it.
