Backup to NAS over FTP (TIH10)

Maybe this question is answered before, but I got lost in the search results. So sorry in advance.

Me and my friend bought a NAS (Synology DS 207). We want to use it to save backups on each others NAS.
Now it seems to succeed for small directories. We even can do incrementals.
But on large directories it goes wrong. I tried to split the tib file to 10MB parts and this goes fine for, say 1Gb. But then it stops.

It might have something to do with FTP time outs or something but I don't have any knowledge on this.

So my question is: can someone guide me on the best backup strategy to a remote server?


Also, if I want to do a incremental, does TI have to download the original file over the network again, before deciding what has changed?
Is it a better idea to mirror it locally and send the incremental files over the net? The disadvantage is the comfort of scheduled automatism.

I attached my log file. I hope this is the key to the solution

Network setup:
Desktop PC
Backup from local drive by FTP to remote NAS (Synology)

Anything else that would help?

 

Hi Kurdy,

I posted a problem months ago regarding my Synology DS207 problem with TI (I have the 9.1?). I can store complete and incremental backups with no problem, but retrieving the backups to restore the system never works (tried it numerous times - but always fails at reboot). Right now, my $700, one terabyte, RAID 1 (500G available) server is just a door stop, so any insight would be helpful.

- Reproduce the issue and collect the log file without closing any application windows (including the error message windows if there are any). The log file will be created at C:\ . The name of the log file will be snapapi [date-time].log

Then submit a request for technical support. Attach all the collected files and information (including that requested in my previous post) to your request along with the step-by-step description of the actions taken before the problem appears and the link to this thread.
