I'm refrencing this article to lower the SMB version to 2.0 for Windows Backup and Restore compatibility. When I launch the SMB Plus application the dropdown says SMB 3.1.1 is for Windows 10. Is this true? I guess I could find out and try, but wanted to ask here as I would prefer to use 3.1.1. See attached file
Thank you
Solved! Go to Solution.

I believe it was true back in 2016, but I suspect Microsoft resolved the issue after that.
I suggest just trying the backup with SMB 3.1.1, and see if it works.

Re: SMB Protocol 3.1.1 and Windows 10
Yes it worked just fine. I'm assuming if it didn't I would have gotten a connection error? I was more worried about the data being corrupt. I downloaded the newest manual and it somewhat differs from that older article. Thanks for your response @StephenB

The backup would have failed - not sure what the error would be.
Thanks for posting back, it's good to know that workaround is no longer needed.
@JohnCM_S , @Marc_V - It looks like this article needs some updating: https://kb.netgear.com/24913/How-do-I-back-up-my-Windows-PC-to-a-ReadyNAS-OS-6-system-using-Windows-...

Re: SMB Protocol 3.1.1 and Windows 10
By the way, if you want to see what SMB version the client is opting to use, then you can see it by running this command from the CLI of the NAS - while the client is connected over SMB.
# smbstatus
Quite handy!

Or for the brief version:
# smbstatus -b
For all options available:
# smbstatus --help

Re: SMB Protocol 3.1.1 and Windows 10
All this is great info, thank you. I am somewhat new to advanced configuration with my NAS and I'll admit it's really interesting all the things I can do with this.
DO I need an app to use the CLI of my ReadyNAS? I see one called Docker CLI, is this it?

Re: SMB Protocol 3.1.1 and Windows 10
Nope, the CLI (command line interface) is part of any Linux system. The ReadyNAS uses the Linux operating system. You can use the SSH protocol to reach the CLI.
If you go to the web admin page, you can simply enable SSH.
1. Go to System > Settings > Services.
2. Click on SSH.
3. When prompted with the support warning, click Yes if you are sure you want to proceed.
4. Select Enable SSH and Enable password authentication.
5. Click Apply.
6. You can now connect to the ReadyNAS through SSH as the root user.
Then use "Putty" to do SSH from your Windows PC. Putty is just one option but the most widely used.
https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/latest.html
When logging in over SSH, you need to use to the username: root
The password will be the same password as you use when accessing the web admin page (i.e. the admin password for the NAS).
The ReadyNAS uses all standard stuff. It is Linux based, it uses Samba for the SMB config, it uses mdadm for the raid config, it uses apache2 for the web admin page, etc. It is all standard stuff, which is really great cause it means that it will act pretty much like any other Linux system.
Cheers

Re: SMB Protocol 3.1.1 and Windows 10
With current versions of Windows 10, you don't even need Putty, as the SSH command is now built into Windows.

Yes ... for more than two years, and enabled by default since April 2018 8-)
