Backup error 'destination is read-only', 6.2.3 (Beta 9)

ReadyNAS Ultra 2 Plus
OS 6.2.3-T1751 (Beta 9)

I connected the backup USB3-drive to the front USB3-port.
One of the six backup jobs now get the "Backup: Error backup job 'xxx': destination is read-only".
Files have been copied though.

The backup_002.log file says "status: 13".
The backup_002_error.log file is empty.

I did not run this now failing backup job on all previous Betas, so no track record.

To get pass this problem I deleted the backup job and the destination folder and
created a new backup job with the same source and destination.


Another thing to be mentioned that I think has been there for a while:

In the Backup tab there is the Status column. If starting several jobs they are put in "queue" state and executed
one at a time and get "in progress" state. Often when a job is comleted there is no "completed" state. To know which
jobs is comleted you have to use the refresh button.

What filesystem is on the USB disk?

File system on the USB3 disk is NTFS.

Try plugging the drive into a windows system. It will likely want to do a repair - if so, let it.

Generally this happens if the "dirty" bit on the USB drive's file system gets set.
