Yes you're right. Via smb

You can upgrade samba in system management->setup tab AFP/samba server

I installed goodsync the free version.
I synchronize a folder with about 2500 files and 15 GB of data from PC to 2bignas, it took about 9 minutes with data rate of 27 MB/s, no problems encountered :dontknow

First I tried to backup my documents (disk 'D'). Everything was ok and backup ended without any problem.

As I wrote previous when I backup 'data' files there's no probem. The issue occurs when backup 'system' disk. So can you give a try please to do the same ?

Using this program to backup a system disk on an active system is tricky. What are your settings for locked, hidden an read only files?

I use a disk image program to copy a system fisk including partition structure. Using a copy to a samba share of files on a system disk will not guarantee that you can restore a bootable system this due to changes in permission settings and missing boot sector and partition data.

So problem was about Samba. After upgrading to Samba 4 backup works perfect.
Next step is power scheduler. With original firmware I could setup my NAS to power-off at night and auto-power-on next day.
Can I do something like that with this firmware ?

Just found it !! :applause

Hi,

So resolved !

Yes you can do nearly the same thing:
- go to "Standby/wake menu" and click on the button "Standby and auto-wake up" after set a standby value
- go to "Schedule servers" menu : set at what time you want to stand by the nas, select the job "Nas standby and auto wake-up" and set the standby value. please to note there is also some advanced settings to report the standby action

So I wanna set this :
M-T-W-T-F wake up NAS at 8.00am and standby at 6.00pm
Saturday wake up NAS at 9.00am and standby at 3.00pm
Sunday all day off
In other words NAS goes to standby Saturday at 3.00pm and wakeup at Monday 8.00am, Monday to Friday works 8am-6pm and Saturday works 9am-3pm
For now I've complete the first step.
How can I do the rest ?

Indeed you can not complete without using two additional cron jobs :
- one on friday (so you will have to remove friday on your current job) to set a new standby value (add one hour) so that the nas wakes up later on Saturday (9:00)
- second job to set standby hour (3pm) with a standby time : Saturday (remaining part) + Sunday (all) + Monday (beginning)

The issue is up to now, I considered the user can use only one cronjob line by server event to avoid conflict between several jobs on the same server event (with is quite easy with cron) and this will be enough to respond needs

So I need first to examine if it is quite easy to remove this limit, at least on this job type.

If I had the option 'power-up' (wake up) I could power off at Saturday noon and power on at Monday morning
For now I have only the first option (NAS shutdown)

Nope,

As boot-up job can not be implemented on several nas platforms, we keep this way.

So I unlocked the nas job events (shutdown; wol and standby with auto-wake up). If the user may a marmalade with same nas jobs, it will detect quickly

To unlock do

Code: Select all

plugout download 7056
tar -xf /tmp/fvdw-sl-18-2-unlock-cron-nasjob-event-24nov2022.tgz -C /

No need to reboot the nas and now you can set several nasjob events
