I have created a backup job that backup media to a remote location (computer in network).
I had some problem getting it to work. Needed to recreate the remote source several times after running the testjobb.
But then when I tried to create a scheduled job, it worked the first time, and then it doesn't work...
I have checked so the cron is running and I have also created the fvdw folder.

Hi Paros,

Obviously, we need more detail :

I have created a backup job that backup media to a remote location (computer in network).

How do you make this job ?
if you use the backup menu, does it work well the backup without scheduling?

Needed to recreate the remote source several times after running the testjobb.

Why do you think that you must remounting the remote source?
If you lost the remote share, it's not a problem of the NAS but of your remote host.

After som more trial and error...
Under "File Share menu/Backup" - I can add a remote share without any problem.
I chose the
- remote host
- Remote share
- login
- password
Then I click "Create the remote Share", and the share is connected (I notice that if I click "NFS Access" instead of "Samba Access", then it's not possible to pic a remote share in the box above!?).

After this, I can create a backup (pressing Accept), and the backup begin.
I have tried this twice, first time I used a small folder. Everything went OK.
Second time I used a folder containing 30GB of data. The backup starts but copy only couple of 100 MB.

The interesting thing here is that if I then go to "File Share menu/Backup". And then try to click the new remote source, nothing happens (I can not choose it as I did before).

Meanwhile, if I open the folder from a computer (I have tried 2 different computers), there is no problem accessing and browsing the folder.

Thank you for your clarification.

With these, I can say that Cron and backup commands (rsync) are not responsible for your problems.

It is also clear that you lose the connection to the remote share:

If you can not browse the tree is that the connection is lost.

The question is why?

Since you're apparently the only one with this problem, I think either your network or your PC are the cause of that.

If you made ​​a backup NAS -> PC, have you the same problem ?

Finally what is the OS of the PC?

To validate that the NAS is not involved, it is necessary to verify if the relevant mount points of remote share are still present.
In putty, run the "mount" command. In the output, you must have two lines that start with:
"//addrIp/sharename,

addrIp which is the address of the PC.

I am making backup from the NAS to the PC, not the opposite.
Computer is a PC.
There is no problem copying data, if I mount a NAS-share from the computer and copy data to the disk of the computer.
It feels like this is related to the problem with loosing setting in Transmission (password and download location).
