Have Backup Interval set for 30 minutes. Has worked great for weeks. Now when I open the dashboard it shows last backup was 1 hour ago and is calculating next backup? There is plenty of room on the backup drive connected directly to the USB on the router. I have tried to re-install the software which worked for 2 or 3 weeks.
Thank you James for the info. I will take your advise and update the firmware although it looks like the only bug fixed in the 1.0.7.2 is the time & date sync issue, which I did not have.
I believe I have found my issue and think it is in the way you interupt the instructions for the ReadyShare Vault. When you mark certain folders or files to be backed up and then set the Backup Interval for lets say 15 minutes. If none of those folders or files where changed in that time period then the backup will NOT run. Therefore there could many hours without a Backup if there was no changes. So you would NOT see a backup every 15 minutes.
With that in mind everything is working great and I believe its not only I great router, but a good 2nd backup for critical files.
Thank you for your reply. I had installed the Ready Share Vault software about 1 month ago. As I said everything was working fine. Had a 1TB external hard drive connected to the USB 3.0 in the front of the router. The back up was set to back up every 30 minutes for the folder and files I picked out. No her changes where made. The "dashboard" no shows that the last backup was 3 hours ago (instead of 30 minutes) and it says its couculating.
My 2 cents..............setting a backup for every 30 minutes is a bit much for this type of hardware In my opinon.
Connect the usb drive to the PC, the router resources are limited unlike the PC's and depending on router usage I'll bet it's running out of them and the process locks up.
Thanks for your input but I think you have some facts wrong. First of all I was following all the instructions from the R7000 in connecting a backup drive with the ReadyShare software. Again following the instructions I am only backing up files that are intermittenly changed and NOT the entire computer. These limited files only represent less then 1% of the entire drive.
A complete backup is done once a week using Windows 7 Backup.
Please be informed that the v1.0.6.28 firmware has been pulled out from support site due to some issues. I would suggest using a different firmware available in support site.
