RN102 after FW update to 6.5.0 no backups
After updating 1 RN102 (my client) to FW 6.5.0 all backup jobs failed. No files copied. I deleted jobs, recreated them all and nothing. Remote is server IP/share (windows) to local share copy. After ...

I think this is not "a lot slower". It is unusable. How can I to get backuo of directory with size in GB when 104kB (4 excel files) took 17 minutes??
Large backup jobs wouldn't be an actual problem. The slowdown is only during the protocol negotiation phase. 6.5.0 supports SMB3 and SMB2 for backup jobs now, but Windows XP does not respond to SMB2 or SMB3 protocol negotiation packets. So it takes the ReadyNAS a couple minutes to time out for each modern protocol negotiation attempted, since we don't get a failure response -- we get no response.
Once the backup job actually starts (after protocol negotiation) it runs at normal speeds.
We'll reduce the timeout during protocol negotiation in 6.5.1, so it will only take a minute or so on unsupported legacy clients. But your backup jobs will work fine in 6.5.0. They'll just take an extra 15 minutes or so more than normal each time they run. There isn't any additional overhead or anything, so there aren't any other side-effects during the negotiation period.

tI did factory default of the unit. changed NAS name. create new job remote (nas timestamp) to Local. Test for connection OK, backup start running, no files copied, backup running till i canceled it. No error was given. tried copry from NAS to remote server (Windows 2003 share) no files copied.
No problem Until unit was upgraded to FW 6.5.0

Tested on RN 104 exact the same IF:
Source or target is PC with Windows XP or Windows server 2003.
Test connection OK, backup jpb endless running, no files copied. Tested both ways.

With FW 6.5.0 IS IMPOSSIBLE TO BACKUP TO or FROM PC/Server With Windows XP or Windows Server 2003 with Remote: Windows/NAS (Timestamp)
Is it possible to Fix this ERROR ASAP? or it is a new "function"? (I hope it's bug, not a function)
If it is function, then ReadyNAS is pointless or NOGO for many my clients. As we need to backup this way older servers or storages.
with Windows Server 2008 R2 is all OK. This is EXACTLY same job as above, source is Win 2008 R2.
All IS OK

Backup Status: SuccessSMB Plus settings has no effect. I tried with SMB1. no change, no backup.

Can you send in your logs (see the Sending Logs link in my sig)?
You shouldn't still be using Windows XP or Server 2003. Those are 13+ years old. These are EOL and are getting no more security updates from Microsoft.
Microsoft extended security updates beyond the usual 10 years to give extra time to migrate across to something newer.
Anyway to backup a server it's generally best to use software running on the server to do the backups not a backup job on the NAS.- KardanoMay 19, 2016Luminary
Logs from RN102 sended. Older one are Befor Factory default. New one are after 2x factory default.
Thank you.
