To update everyone, this appears to be a false alarm. Of course, after experiencing the issue (backup server not being touched) for 6+ weeks and finally making a bug report in the forums, I successfully downloaded an nzb last night which was around 13 GB and noted that 2 MB came from my backup server. Hence, it appears that everything is working normally and it was just a coincidence that the backup server wasn't required for many weeks.
Thanks.

To put a postscript on this thread, here are the stats for a recent download:

Name filename
Completed 2 days ago
Status Completed
Size 40.9 GB
Category Default
Path /volume1/NAS/Downloads/Usenet/complete/filename
Source filename.nzb
Download Downloaded in 8 hours 25 seconds at an average of 1.5 MB/s
Age: 909d
2 articles were malformed
Servers news.<ispname>.net (*)=40.9 GB, news.tweaknews.eu=645 KB
Repair [filename] Verified in 23 mins 41 seconds, repair is required
[filename] Repaired in 6 mins 5 seconds
Unpack [filename] Direct Unpack - Unpacked 3 files/folders in 4 mins 6 seconds

(*) news.<ispname>.net peers with Astraweb and the data download's from Astraweb's servers.

Not bad for a 900+ day file and only 645 KB from my backup server, which indeed IS being used when necessary.

I swear this isn't an ad for Astraweb.
