Backup fails cannot mkdir

My backuo job fails trying to make a directory based on a zip file it is trying to copy. I think that windows is presenting the contents of the zip file so the mkdir gets an invalid name to create. It only seems to fail on zip files as follows;

Backup Job Name: docs
Backup Job Type: Incremental
Protocol: cifs
Backup Source: [remote:cifs]///192.168.0.8/Users My Documents
Backup Destination: [Backup]/
Backup Start Time: Sun Jul 5 2015 16:10:14
Backup Finish Time: Sun Jul 5 2015 16:15:18
Backup Status: Fail: failure during copy.

This is a ReadyNas 104 with Firmware 6.2.4

  • The more I look at this the more I think it is specifically to do with ZIP files. I do not know how the Backup task request data, but if I just use Windows explorer on a zip file it shows me the contents rather than opening the zip program. I understand it's possible to disable this facility, but I shouldn't have to do this.

    Will keep you posted.

  • Even after disabling this in windows, it still fails.
