I'm having the same problem.

What problem is that? The OP quoted a post saying "do this and No Problem" then asked Netgear if this was OK to do (to no response of course).

Are you saying you tried it and it didn't work for you? In what way(s) didn't it work?

As the link in the original post is to the entire thread, here is the 2nd-to-last (as of today) post in its entirety by technet member Starstream from Jan 25th of this year:

Hi I've had the same problem with a ReadyNAS Duo and after reading various forums I've got a solution that works for me.. 1. Edit the [global] section of /etc/samba/smb.conf and add the line 'strict allocate = yes' as suggested. 2. Edit /etc/fstab and change the filesystem of your data partition from ext3 to ext2. My NAS had this: /dev/c/c /c ext3 defaults,acl,user_xattr,usrquota,grpquota,noatime 0 2 and I just changed ext3 to ext2. (You'll need reboot or remount/restart the services here) 3. Finally, make sure you're not backing up to a location that already has a sparse VHD file in it.. I just renamed the existing failed WindowsImageBackup\MACHINE folder so it would create a new backup image. Since doing these things my file-level backups from Server 2008 R2 to ReadyNAS Duo seem to be spot on.. Backup and restores are both working successfully. Hope that helps Mark
