Backup Failure with "Input/output error (5)"
I have a number of backups (13 actually) set up on my RN314 to copy files to my NV+ using Rsync. They have been running successfully for several weeks now but three days ago one of them failed. When I checked the log, a number of files had the error message "Input/output error (5)" next to them. Since it was only one of the backups (all the rest completed okay), I assumed it must have been because of some open files or the like.
However, last night two backups failed (the same one as the previous night and another one), both with a number of files with the "Input/output error (5)" error.
I have checked both the RN314 and the NV+ and everything seems to be in order.
The RN314 is running 6.1.2 firmware and the NV+ 4.1.12.
Has anyone got any ideas wh this is happening and what I can do to fix it?
