My own rsync backups worked with no issue on 6.9.0.
Though you likely already did this, you might confirm that destination NAS IP address didn't change. If the NAS use NIC bonding, perhaps try temporarily breaking the bond.
You could also try rebooting the destination, and see if that makes any difference.
Both NAS boxes had bonded NIC connections. I have removed the Bonded settings and will try again.
Thanks. Is this a issue with the latest firmware?

There were issues with bonding - and Netgear pushed out some hot fixes. I think there are more network fixes in 6.9.1, so you might want to upgrade to that.
