Readynas 102 not backing up and freezing after upgrade to 6.4.2

O.K. I think this discussion has run its course.
Now that this is fixed in 6.5.0 if you have any issues on that you should open a new thread.
I'm closing this thread.
Hi
As I said earlier, there I was thinking that I had problems.
I am no expert and I would hope someone who is would offer you help. But here are my thoughts.
Create a simple folder on your NAS called something like Test_01 containing some information that doesn't matter if lost or corrupted.
In fact what I usually do is copy say a few 100mb up to 1gb into this test folder.
I am using a drive formatted to NTFS by the way.
Do a file check on the folder to be backed up, so find out the total number of folders and files. Also the total size.
Then perform a test backup. This will be quicker to deal with and give you better more verifiable results.
I did this before attempting a complete data backup to quickly check all was well
Not much help, sorry. You seem to be having more issues than me.
As a matter of interest what not try something even simpler, create a shortcut to the NAS on your desktop. Open the attached WD drive. Go to the NAS, navigate to this test folder and drag and copy the test folder to the WD drive. See if this simple procedure works. If it does it's something to do with your 3rd party backup software.

You know like you I am spending hours on this, this being a £120 NAS. I'm wondering about scrapping the NAS, cutting my losses, save wasting time and buying a WD NAS.
