Time Machine slow after 6.5.2 update
It may be a coincidence, but I just updated my ReadyNAS to firmware 6.5.2. I back up three Macs to the TimeMachine i have on the unit. The time machines have worked fine since when I purchased it,...
What version of the Mac OS are you using?
The reason I ask is I've seen something similar: I, too, upgraded to ReadyNAS 6.5.2 and, when I went to do a Time Machine backup from my MacBook Pro running the latest macOS Sierra 10.12, it took FAR longer than normal to "complete".
But even worse, not only did it NOT actually complete the backup, ALL backups for that MacBook Pro were lost: Even though Time Machine said the most recent backup was the newly completed one, trying to enter Time Machine displayed "Can't connect to a current Time Machine backup". The only option at that point was, from ReadyNAS, to delete and recreate the Time Machine backup share, then start a new backup, losing all backup history. The latter backup is still underway as I write this, but seems to be making reasonable progress; hopefully it'll be solid when it's done.
HOWEVER, on 2 other Macintosh laptops on this same network, both running the previous OS X El Capitan, new, incremental Time Machine backups continue to work just fine to the same ReadyNAS 6.5.2.
Granted, my sample size is small but, in my case at least, it looks like Apple made changes to AFP or other elements of Time Machine backups in macOS Sierra that, in combination with the way ReadyNAS works, require you to start over, losing your backup history. :(

I think it's a good idea to do a fresh full backup after the annual major OSX update anyway and that's what I normally do.Which services are you running under System > Settings > Services?
SMB, AFP, NFS, ReadyDLNA, Rsync, UPnp HTTP HTTPS, Antivirus

Can you send in your logs (see the Sending Logs link in my sig)?
I have not upgraded yet. El Capitan 10.11.6
It took the iMac 16 hours to complete a backup of 6 GB. when the next interval come, there was 650MB to back up and I cancled it after 2 hours as I needed to shut the it down to install a new UPS.
