Problems with Backup to USB HDD
OK in order to hep fix another problem with my RN104 I am trying to backup everything to a USB external HD.
RN104
Firmware 6.10.3
4x 2TB WD Red Drives (Raid 5)
external HD WD My Passport (1TB)
1. Plug external Drive into front USB port
2. Wait for it to be recognised
3. Format Drive as EXT4 (saw recommendation somewhere else on forum)
4. Create Backup Job to backup directory onto drive
5. Run Job
Backup Job Name: job_001 Backup Job Type: Incremental Protocol: local Backup Source: [Documents]/ Backup Destination: [USB_HDD_3]/Test Backup Start Time: Wed May 27 2020 7:40:58 AM Backup Finish Time: Wed May 27 2020 7:52:56 AM Backup Status: Fail: Destination is read-only or files/folders could not be created. Check if these files or folders meet the destination file system limitation. Cannot create file '/media/USB_HDD_3/Test/Books/Battletech/BattleTech 10977 Field Manual - Mercenaries (Rev).pdf' (error: Read-only file system)!
Other things I have tried...remove external hard drive and format NTFS....same result, failure
Here was me thinking this would be easy.
Any
suggestions

when I look at the drive on my PC it needs a scan and a fix but there are some files that have been written as per the log.
Maybe its time to get a new NAS

Did you eject the drive before you removed it from the NAS? Windows and Mac PCs don't require that step any more, but the NAS does.
When the PC gives that prompt, then the NAS will mount the drive read-only. So run that scan.

I'm thinking it's more likely that you need a new USB hard drive.
You can test it with vendor tools in the PC (seatools for seagate or lifeguard for western digitial).
You can also try backing up the full share from the PC, using drag-and-drop, or possible a tool like teracopy or free file sync.
