Any idea why I can't use "Timestamp" on some jobs, but I can on others? I guess it doesn't really matter to me, but I didn't have a problem with certain timestamp jobs failing until I updated the firmware, unless it's all a coincidence. The only other thing I've done on my network is perform a server reboot.
How do the working and non-working jobs differ in configuration?
Actually, that's the odd thing - they really don't. The only difference between the working and non-working jobs are, of course the source path, and the destination path. For each, the source path is a different location on the same server, on the same drive. For the destination, each destination is simply a unique NAS share. I am logging on to all of the source locations using the same username and password, and that tests OK for every job.
Permissions haven't changed on the source or destinations...it's just odd, because it was like overnight, half the jobs stopped working.
As I said, at least for now, I can work around this by using Archive Bit instead of Timestamp. And honestly, I don't even really know what the difference is between the two, or if one has any advantage over another. But I wanted to mention it, in case it's an issue that's solvable.
