Hi StephanB,
Thanks for your reply, sorry for my late response; busy :-(.

Thanks to your determination that a forward slash was needed, I went to search again (googling). Now I finally found it in one of the messages I encountered the correct syntax.
The syntax must start with 'root', so the full syntax must be 'root/users/[username]/[Directory]/[Directory]/'.
The syntax is case sensitive and the target directory must be on the target. The directory name must not contain space or punctuation. The forward slash at the end is a must.

Problem solved.

I now have saved the syntax in my OneNote, so I don't I will lose ever again :-).

Thank you very much for your help.

RuudB.

Hello RuudB,

I have some questions to ask, please see them below:

Could you send a screen capture of Backup Job configuration you have made and the Backup Job logs?
Could you send more information about the backup destination?

Welcome to the community!

  Hello RuudB,
  
  I recommend to check the permission of the share of the NAS which have set as the source. I have questions too.
  
  What happens when you test the connection on step 2?
  
  Are you able to ping the destination using its domain name?
  
  Have you tried using IP address on the destination field of the backup job instead of domain name?
  
  What is the firmware version of your ReadyNAS?

    Your path for the strato server should use forward slashes (/), you are using back slashes (\). There should be no double slash at the beginning.
    
    Are you sure the path itself is correct?
