Transfer from USB HDD to Readynas NV+.

I updated the RAIDiator a few days ago. As far as I recall it's 4.1.8 but I'm not 100% sure. I've tested with various sample sizes from 20mb to 10gb files. The transfer speed doesn't differ.

Have you tried different USB ports?

Does your USB HDD have its own power cable? If not try connecting via a USB hub with its own power cable.

I've tried the front USB port and one on the back, so I got one more port to try. Yes, the USB HDDs have their own power cable.

To find the "add a backup" option in front view. Under Backup > Backup Jobs; you should see tabs at the top, the next one over from the initial page (one to the right) should be add a backup job. From the drop down menu you should find USB which is divided to front, back, etc. I would try doing the transfer this way, I believe you would see increased performance from setting up the backup job in Frontview. What USB version are the drives?

Hello,

I have a working solution.
You can create a mount point (example USB_stick) in your share on the nas. This mountpoint can be redirected to the /USB folder (folder where the usb-devices are mounted under)
If you enable Http/s of the nas share, You can move files trough and from the usb-disk to the share, controlled trough favorite web browser. and they are copied locally on the nas. The obvious advantage is speed of course.

Steps i have taken,

Step 1 Turn on the http/s sharing tab of your shared folder trough Frontview (check to disable webdav).

Step 2 shh to your nas

Step 3 browse to your nas share.(example)
# cd /c/Media

Step 4 create a Folder named USB_stick
# mkdir USB_stick

Step 5 Create a Script that wil auto mount this folder to the /USB folder
# nano /etc/init.d/usbmount
copy lines below in script
----------------
#!/bin/sh
mount --rbind /USB /c/Media/USB_stick
exit
exit 0
----------------
cd /etc/init.d/
chmod +x usbmount

Setp 6 autorun script at startup
#sudo update-rc.d usbmount defaults

The only downside is that you have to restart the nas when you attach the usb- device for this to work, this is not a biggy, you are standing next to the nas of course.
But if anyone have any sugestions.. :D
