Hi, I have a TNAS F2-420. It has been working fine, but today I started USB Copy to make my monthly backup to a USB external drive.
USB Copy has been working for months, but today after some minutes the whole Terramaster interface froze and I can´t enter anymore. The login page timeouts loading.
Plex is working, File share is accesible. The only issue is I can´t enter anymre. Its been 3 hours. I can see the external USB light flashing, so I think its copying. I thinks is around 15GB that it should be copying. So, do I just wait more?
Wondering why the process does not allow me to login anymore. Its the first time this happens.

Nevermind... just needed a little patience.
Waited almost 5 hours and the TNAS revived. So, seems if you can´t access the login page, but you see disk activity, can ping the server and see the fileshare, just let it be.
Probably the system was making an incremental calculation before starting.
I would recommend NOT to shutdown the TNAS nor unplug de disk. That would probably corrupted the data.
Would be nice if USB Copy showed you the progress.
I see the USB Copy is version 1.6.0 from 2021. Any new version exist?
Cheers,
Charles

USB Backup requires some system resources to execute, if you have fewer system resources left, it may lag.
USB Copy for TOS4 is no longer updated.

Is there a newer version of USB Copy available beyond version 1.6.0 from 2021 that includes progress tracking during transfers?

Not that I am aware. This one works fine though.
