Hello StephenB,
and thank you for your reply, I was expecting something like files with sector numbers.
Have received my rn202, and have completed the initial setup.
Is there a User Guide for the rn202 (I have one for my DUO (ReadyNAS_UM_02Apr08.pdf)?
Or perhaps an URL with the documentation that are relevant?
Had a look into the snapshot folders, and it's overwhelming to see the contents.
Found that snapshots are taken even during nighttime disk spin-down periods, so
changed snapshots to Daily.
I went into Shares->Browse and chose my Backup share, and then selected Recover.
Stared at the menu: How come there were only 3 snapshots after HOURLY snapshots all night?
After a lot of confusion I found there was a hidden scroll bar inside the menu.
Would it be possible to keep them visible all the time, please? OS version is 6.3.2.
FWIW: Scroll bars exist when I work with the DUO....
Next day I discovered that the Daily snapshot at midnight was not taken.
Is there a procedure to change the snapshot frequency?
The Test Connection button (on remote Backup Source menu) successfully connects,
but backup terminates with error. Filenames are read correctly, but can't copy?
(On DUO, NFS is started, and under Shares->NFS Default access is set to R/W)
Backup Job Name: \\NAS1\backup to \\NAS2\backup
Backup Job Type: Full

Backup Start Time: Fri Nov 13 2015 17:23:12
Backup Finish Time: Fri Nov 13 2015 17:23:15
Backup Status: Fail: failure during copy.

----------------------------------------
I can't enable RSYNC in Shares->Shares->Home Folders->Settings->Access.
It is possible to enable RSYNC for my Backup share. Have I forgotten something ?
Does RAIDar60 support the DUO?
Does RAIDar438 support the RN202?
It would be convenient if OS6 supported an option to create an automatic snapshot
for the duration of a backup to another server. Would this qualify as an Enhancement Request?
Thank you in advance
