I second the two earlier requests for GUI control of backups to/from attached USB disks - though not necessarily by mofiying the existing "USB backup" function:

The two earlier requests were:
•USB - Ability to start USB backup/sync from GUI without pressing the physical button on the DNS-320L
•USB - Option for incremental backup to USB storage

My request:
That USB disks can be used freely as the source or as the destination of a "local backup" or a "remote backup".

Then such backups to/from a USB disk can be started from the web GUI, run on a schedule etc. And IMO the existing "USB backup" function would remain as the easy "one touch" operation (insert USB device, press the button (once configured no need to start up a PC and go in to the web GUI)).

Regards,
Richard

Dear JavaLawyer,

I bought a DNS-320LW and everything is working fine but P2P client quality is quite low.

Regarding the below essential functions do you have any info when that could be incorporated into a new FW? I think to add/seed multiple torrents more than 10 is something which is quite essential and should be a basic function nowadays. That is the most critical missing function for p2p client in this quite good price/functionality value NAS. Without this P2P client enhancements unfortunately P2P is nearly useless in that.

Well, important functions would be:

App - P2P - Add option to specify download location (volume and folder)
App - P2P - Ability to add multiple magnet/torrent links
App - P2P - Ability to control the quantity of connections and simultaneous downloads
App - P2P - Automatically refresh the current folder/file view after P2P download completes or media is copied to a shared folder (rather than having to manually use "Refresh All")
App - P2P - Option to increase the number of torrents listed per page (e.g. dropdown menu with 10, 20, 50, and 100)

PS: if the complete current whishlist will be programmed into the next Firmware then this NAS would be one of the leader on the market based on price/value.

Waiting for your kind and hopefully positive feedback in the name of the community.

Kind Regards,
Brown

This is an end-user compiled wish list.  There's no guarantee what functionality will be incorporated by D-Link. I can say with certainty that D-Link is aware of and views wishlists maintained on the forum, but can't provide an ETA on specific functionality.

Wishlist Items Addressed by D-Link (Thank you!)

• [Bug] General - CPU utilization often hangs at 100% although no process intensive services seem to be running [FIXED!]

Is it possible to fix the compatibility with  OSX 10.9 (Mavericks)?

The compatibility issue is related with Time Machine backups.
The backup is created successfully but after few days Time Machine stops to backup and ask to create a new backup with the following error message:
"Time Machine completed a verification of your backups on “shareName”. To improve reliability, Time Machine must create a new backup for you."

Time Machine works fine with an USB disk directly connected to the Mac.

Thanks.

Can other DNS-320L owners replicate this issue?

Couple of suggestions to add to the wish list:

1. Logs - write a log entry for the outcome of scheduled local/remote backups (containing at least date/time the job completed + outcome (success/failure))

2. Notifications (Email/SMS alerts) - in the event options include the ability to send an alert upon failure of a scheduled backup job

Regards,
Richard

Disk Management \ Hard Drive Configuration - Add the ability to properly remove the drives from the system to replace them with others (now there is information that the disk was damaged and there are problems with installing new).

[Request]Change Port on WEB UI.

Currently after I setup the Upnp, I notice only media files are "exposed" to other devices.
Please allow access to non-media files like (.srt) to be read by TV as well.

I have 2 files:
1) movie.mp4
2) movie.srt

I am able to play my movies from my Samsung Smart TV (connected through LAN cable).
But somehow the subtitles (.srt) are not displaying.

I am sure my TV supports .srt files as when I put the same 2 files into USB and plug it into my TV, the movie plays together with the subtitle.
