After backup: Destination is read-only?
I'm working on implementing a proper backup procedure as most experts on this forum recommend. But when trying to backup a large amount of data, I keep getting this error message: Backup: Error bac...
Have been looking for a solution for this problem for a long time, but never managed to find the root cause.
In the end, I decided to remove the offending subdirectory that contained a file backup of a Windows system. This solved the problem with the backup procedure.
The most likely cause of that error is that the "dirty" bit is set on the disk volume. Windows scan/fix should reset that.
The dirty bit is often set when the disk is not ejected before removal, or if the NAS sees some other issue when mounting it.
I back up over over the network, and not to local disks - so I don't have direct experience on how often this occurs.
