Ultra4 -> NV+ Backup

Looking for some advice here. I did a complete NFS backup of my Ultra4 -> NV+. That took a while but worked fine. I ran the backup from the NV+, it wouldn't work from the Ultra4. Now I go a week later and I want to run incremental backups. Do I switch to rsync or continue to use NFS? The rsync backup seems to be just copying everything again anyhow, it has been going for days. Once again, running on the NV+ since I could not get it to work from the Ultra4.

Both machines have the latest firmware.

thanks for the help!

Re: Ultra4 -> NV+ Backup

You need to use the same backup jobs when you change to rsync, just edit each job.
If you create new jobs it will try tomrun a full backup.
You can get round this if you have setup new jobs by deliberately setting up the job to fail ( eg setting the destination as a USB disk that does not exist) once it has failed, correct the destination and run the job again.
Make sure you have selected first time only for full backup.
