I also wouldn't use NTFS and SMB on a router. nfs is the right way to go. But I thought it should nevertheless work on a router.That said, SMB to NTFS isn't how I'd do it either. I'd go with nfs to a Linux native filesystem if the NAS device supports it.
So I thought I can verify it works with my router (AVM 7590). I formatted a flash driver with NTFS and connected the flash drive to my router. Unfortunately image-backup also fails when the flash drive is mounted with SMB - the truncate command creates an empty file
So it seems to be heavily dependent on the SMB implementation and NTFS driver used on a router. If I mount my Synology NAS which exports a filesystem with SMB everything works fine. But this proves it's not image-backup which fails but the SMB/NTFS implementation used on the target host.
