Backup Error due to lack of disk space, but drive isn't full

Good morning,

since a few days I register a strange behaviour while backing up to an external USB hard drive.
Every time I try to Backup my Files (400GB) from my ReadyNAS NVX to an attached USB hard drive (465 GB) I get the following Error-Message:
writing `/USB_HDD_3/xyz~0': No space left on device
Reason for failure:
Error encountered copying data from source path ==> /USB_HDD_3/ due to lack of disk space.


After this Error-Message, I've checked the USB-Volume and it shows only 285 GB used on the drive, but anyway the Backup-Job fails.

What can I do? The Log-Files don't seem to help. Do anyone know something about this issue?

Greetings
