Description Of Issue
@support, my music files are stored on the Terramaster NAS. It has 2x USB 3.0 ports. I am trying to backup the roon library on to an external Seagate HDD attached to either one of the NAS USB ports (outcome is the same which ever one I try). The NAS attached USB drive exposes as a ‘public’ SMB drive in windows and I can set up a storage location as normal for a roon DB backup.
However, when I try to backup I get an error “Backup directory not available”. I notice that on the USB drive roon is able to make a RoonBackups directory and then a directory with a long hexadecimal string as it normally does with any other location. However with the USB drive attached directly to the NAS, backup just stops and fails at this point.
If I disconnect the USB drive from the NAS and attach it directly to the core, then backup proceeds normally. It is slow though, presumably because of the network traffic and I was hoping it would be quicker, simpler and easier to manage by having a USB drive attached directly to the NAS.
Any ideas?
