Title: dns 343 nas to nas backup
Post by: msamp on June 16, 2017, 04:14:00 PM
hi-

I inherited two dns 343'sfrom work when we upgraded. I've got each loaded with four 2T drives. firmware version 1.05.

I have a couple T or random junk (movies, pdf books, pdf scientific papers, etc.) on one and I am trying to back it up to the other. both have static IPs out of the range of the dhcp server.

when I start a remote backup on the target system, backup, it *seems* to be working fine...for a couple of hours. I look and only a few tens of gigabyts of data have been transferred. I can re-run the backup, and it will move more, but it always stops running with a 'backup completed' or some such message. is there some magic to getting it to do the entire backup? Yes - I can just do an old-fashioned drag-and-drop to move the files, but that puts my pc in the loop. i'd rather get this working.

I haven't done any major network troubleshooting because the message given by the 343 makes me think it thinks it's really done.

oddly - ALL of the filenames are created, but they're all empty except for those few (hundred) that actually copy.

thanks for any help.

How are these connected? To a router or LAN switch?
Gb network switch would be recommended for best performances.

The switch GB or 100Mb?

So the back is says it's completed but not all data is xfer'd?
How much data are you tring to move? total size?
