RN 104 won't run backup & locks up after 6.4.1 update
I updated my ReadyNAS 104 from firmware 6.2.4 to 6.4.1 and a scheduled backup job could no longer run. The destination was a Seagate Go-Flex drive with USB 3.0 connected to the front USB port on the RN 104 (formatted NTFS) and the backup ran fine connected to this same port under firmware 6.2.4. I found that the upgrade to the newer firmware had erased the destination drive name from my backup settings, but when I replaced that info with the new suggested name for the Seagate drive the backup still would not run. Upon checking the backup logs I find the following entry: “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.” Also when the backup fails it locks up the ReadyNAS with the backup light continually blinking. I can’t even power it down by the power button, I have to disconnect the power supply. I have run a disk check on the USB drive and the ReadyNAS and both come back clean.3.6KViews0likes12Comments
