I have a MyCloud Ex2 Ultra with two 4Tb HDDs in Raid1
I use the NAS exclusively for backup purposes. I work on an external Disk (WD Elements - 4Tb) that I connect to the NAS every night to backup.
I use the same backup job since two years ago: Sync all the external disk to a Folder on the NAS. There is no other data on the NAS than the one on the disk.
I have 826Gb free on the NAS, and roughly 800Gb free on the disk, so it isn’t a problem of space.
I had the same problem when I updated to OS5 from OS3. Had a lot of calls from the technical service, lots of logs sent to them. I ended up formatting the entire NAS to create a fresh backup. No problem since then.
Today, backups started giving error messages again right after an firmware update (5.10.122).
I can’t delete all the data again, and I can’t be doing 4Tb backups every month, mannually.
The web doesn’t allow me to attach the logs, but you can download them from here: https://we.tl/t-4nmNMyNNQ9
Update: I tried something that somehow worked. During the night, I activated the Cloud service only for the Nas to start indexing (99% of the data are photos in different formats). Today, Backup wasn’t working BUT, when I disabled the Cloud service again (And therefore empying the CPU usage), the backup started working magically. I think I bypassed the TimeOut by letting the NAS index everything? I’m not really sure.
USB sticks at 1TB can hold a staggering number of photos, prices for 1TB have fallen substantially over the last few years and the price deflator is still driving costs lower
I want automatic backup, all my files duplicated automatically, and remote access to my files. This was working on my NAS, and now it doesn’t because a firmware problem.
You’re bringing here a solution that is for a different problem. (Storage and money). I don’t have these problems. Please, stop insisting, and let the Tech Service do their job.
Same issue, 'cept I’m using a 4100 to remote backup to EX2 w/USB drives attached. Worked till this week. Now the only remote backup that works is to the EX2 volumes. EDIT: btw, internal backups fail to usb shares too.
