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.
Do the backup sources differ in terms of path depth? For example //server/data/folder would be deeper than //server/other.
Of the 10 backup jobs that run nightly (all were originally set as "Timestamp"):
8 of them are the same depth: //server1/data/folder
2 of them are one level shorter: //server1/folder
For some reason:
-the 2 "shorter" ones continue to work as Timestamp jobs (I didn't have to change those).
-6 out of the remaining other 8 jobs failed (2 of those still worked) when set to Timestamp.
-If I set the remaining 8 jobs to "Archive Bit", they complete successfully.
