RN104 Incremental Backup to USB3
My daily backup to USB seems to be taking forever recently, similar amount of data but it's just not finishing in time. I've hovered over the backup whilst it is running and the overview pop-up says 10.3mb/s... is that about right? This is an RN104 using USB3 back bottom port to USB3 HDD.
I've formatted the USB3 HDD and reset up the backup.
With the above, how can I setup incremental to USB3? I tried using some info I found on the net but it didn't work. Anybody any ideas?
What do I need to use for the destination path if.... the hdd is named USB_HDD_16 and the folder I want to copy to is Digital?
The NAS I'm pushing/copying from has rsync enabled in the settings.
Again, thanks.

A few hours in and the speed has gone up to 18mb/s.
- What firmware are you running?
- How is the USB drive formatted?
- How is the backup job set up now?
The best way to do an incremental backup is to use rsync.
Thanks for the reply. Info below...
FW 6.9.5
USB drive formatted to EXT4
Backup is set to daily, local share to usb... it removes contents and then does a full backup
