Scheduled Backup from File Server to ReadyNas 3138

I just sent the logs... I apologize for not responding sooner. I'm OOO on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
As for the offsite issue. We did some additional reading after seeing the response from support. We now use a series of 2 TB drives and a series of 3TB drives that we connect externally (USB / eSATA) and rotate offsite.
Thanks for following up on our previous bad idea.
Can you try disabling the anti-virus service and see if this makes a difference?
Is your NAS joined to AD?
The NAS is added to the AD and I am generally able to browse to the NAS from my computer, when it isn't frozen up.
I have disabled the A/V and will try restarting that job when the other job that is running right now finishes.
The backup ran and completed last night with the AntiVirus turned off but came back showing as failed. Looking at the logs for that failed backup, I was able to find a folder that had some strange character in the folder name that appeared to create a problem because the the name was not valid. I removed that character from the folder name and ran the backup again and it ran and completed without problem. I turned the Antivirus back on and it ran again without problem. I believe we have resolved the issue, but I will continue to watch the backup for a few more days.
