It appears no longer possible to configure ReadyNas to use Backblaze Amazon s3 backup per https://help.backblaze.com/hc/en-us/articles/1260804505130-How-to-use-Netgear-ReadyNAS-with-Backblaze-B2, I suspect that direct use of Amazon S3 fails as well but haven't tested that. I received this response from Backblaze support:
The requirement for V4 signatures is indeed a part of the S3 compatible API. The older versions have been deprecated and as a result, we have stopped supporting them. Unfortunately, I am not able to troubleshoot their device and it's utilities. I would recommend reaching out to their support to see if there is a way to update or alter the signature they are using. Apologies for not being able to be more help there.

FYI...I too am experiencing this issue and was directed to this section from the community support page.

FYI...latest ReadyNAS OS 6.10.7 still does not resolve the issue :-( on my ReadyNAS 2304
Looks like we're being abandoned. I got this response from Netgear Support:
As per our Engineers, there is no plan of updating the signature since the [ReadyNAS] device is already an end of life unit. I will close this case now.
They did not respond to my followup as to which ReadyNAS online backup options are still functional.
bvbbvb well that's a big bummer, did they happen to mention if this issue will not be fixed for ALL ReadyNAS OS devices? Mine is an RR2304 which I do not believe is end of life (yet)...maybe it is though? Seems a little odd that they would not fix this for current ReadyNAS devices and this Cloud S3 back-up does not seem like it would be specific to hardware vs. OS software.
There's some evidence (e.g. https://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/netgear/pdfs/EOL.pdf) that the entire ReadyNAS line is End of Life. Perhaps the rise of cloud computing has destroyed the commercial viability of in-house NAS solutions.
FYI...for what's it's worth I switched to using ChronoSync app locally on server that does a sync with target Backblaze service.
