We'll certainly try it once things comes to normal again. You've mentioned here before that the NAS USB could be quite slow and it would be better to attach the external HD directly to the computer. /viewtopic.php?p=422579#p422620 Is it not so in our case then?

I didn't knew you could make snapshots not user-visible. Do not know how to do it also.

BTW2, it sounds like you have linux skills. It is possible to mount the btrfs data volume on a linux system (if mdadm and btrfs are installed), by attaching one of the RN102 disks to the SMB or USB port of the other linux system. Might be worth considering, it would certainly be faster once you get it set up. You could also look at the OS partition that way.

Would suggest using a system with at least kernel 3.17.x and corresponding or newer version of btrfs if you are using an ordinary Linux system.
Guys I'm just slowly trying to step into GNU/Linux for a while and I confess that the easy flavor of Ubuntu is the deepest I could go. I learned basic in 1985 in a TRS Color though :lol: I couldn't experiment with mdadm and the btrfs file system for finding it dangerous in inexperienced hands. Maybe with a recipe tutorial. And yes I should also have to update my kernel which is 3.11.0-26 still.
You've both have been of great help and support, literally. Thank you very much again! 🙂

That post was about a v1 (sparc-based) NAS. Yours is much faster. When working normally, USB 3.0 NTFS transfers should be about 1 TB a day.

Format type matters, and you could play with it - as long as you can read the backup on other systems of course.

Click on the share in the admin UI, and then pick settings. You'll see an "allow snapshot access" checkbox.
Re: Upgraded to 6.2.2 from 6.1.9. Can't enable SMB
I'm glad to say I have not had any issues removing apps... I just uninstall and reset the NAS.
I just finished my 2nd factory reset and my NAS is now visible in windows 7 once again. I figure I won't install many apps, if any. It takes so long to transfer all the data back the NAS, so I'd rather just keep it as simple as possible.
I hope everyone having issues with the 6.2.2 firmware can get them resolved. As of right now, I seem to be on my way again. 😄

backup to a locally attached NTFS USB 3.0 drive is ~12.5 MB/s A USB 2.0 drive is about 9 MB/s (http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/nas/nas- ... 2-reviewed). That's about 1 TB per day with the USB 3.0, and about 750 GB per day with USB 2.0.
Finally starting 'proper' backup. Hard disk locally attached trough usb 3.0. I couldn't find any direct indication of transfer velocity in the GUI. But after the first backup, its Log informs that a transfer of 126,479 Mb took 40m23s to be completed, resulting in 52Mb/s. Is it expected or have I committed some mistake? With the same installation but copying (from NAS to LOCALLY attached HD) through Win7 network it was 2.3 Mb/s though.
We've got two identical hard disks. The OS recognizes the first plugged as USB_HDD_01 share. The second isn't yet plugged. Is it possible that the OS consider the second hard disk being the same share as the first and apply the old backup jobs previously created for the first drive on the second one? Maybe plugging both at the same time once the RN102 has two USB 3.0 ?
Is there a way to change the name given? On the OS when I click on settings for the drive USB_HDD_01, the name field is grayed out.
(Are this questions appropriate for this thread or should we create another one?)
Thank you.
Still we didn't dare to uninstall any other app. We're considering to do a Factory default boot if the speed to upload it back stays similar.
Re: Upgraded to 6.2.2 from 6.1.9. Can't enable SMB
The NAS has once again disappeared from the Windows 7 network. Not one app has been installed. Same issue as before, windows 7 can't see the NAS but it is accessible on tablets/cell phones and MAC.
This is now the 2nd factory reset, and this time not one app has been installed. Transferring data back to the NAS is all that has been done. The transferring was done from Windows 7, so it was working at one point. The NAS was only working properly for a few days, then it simply didn't show up in Windows 7 (again on more than one PC)
