My rsync backup problems closely matched the OP's, and they were fixed with 6.7.5-T299 (Beta 1).

Aplologies for delayed response - unexpectedly not avaliable.

Is 6.7.5-T299 (Beta 1) recommended to fix this problem? It has not been offered obviously as it is beta nor talked about but a fix is urgently needed?

It says

Unless you are advised by NETGEAR Support in a support case to update to beta software, NETGEAR Support may deny support if you are running beta software. You can seek help here on the NETGEAR Community for issues encountered on the beta.

and I can't afford to introduce other problems.

If it is a known good fix, surely it could say so?

What it says is: [Beta 1] Fixed an issue where rsync local-to-remote backup jobs would only back up the top-level folder.

So it fixes that problem, as capaz attests. Is that the problem you have?

As you likely know all ReadyNAS public betas have that warning. I am running 6.7.5-RC1 on my backup NAS, and haven't had any issues. But it is possible that Netgear Support would deny support if you install it.

  Thanks StephenB,
  
  Yes, I saw the[Beta 1] Fixed an issue where rsync local-to-remote backup jobs would only back up the top-level folder.
  
  I was anticipating an rsync only fix ... my post was expressed badly (just out of hospital) - I was alluding to the other things in that release potentially causing problems ...
  
  Thanks for your post though, it gives me the confidence to go ahead and install it.
  
  Many thanks and apologies for any confusion.

    That is a risk for sure.
    
    This one is already at release-candidate, and it's been stable for me (at least).
