Hello TommyD,

 

By looking at the error it seems the destination cannot be overwritten. What's the source and destination of the backup job?

    Hi,

    Source is ReadyNAS and destination is a Windows 7 share.
    Backup Source: [Gemensam]/ADMINISTRATION - KONTORET
    Backup Destination: [remote:cifs]///192.168.1.12/Backup/AdminKontor

     

    The strange thing is that I don't have a folder named "job_005" or file named "__foo__.19098" and all files are copied fine from source to destination.
    I have deleted all files/folders in destination, but still same error.

     

    Kind regards,
    Tommy

      Hello TommyD,

       

      Can you check the destination folder on the computer if you can write to it?

        Hi JennC,

         

        Yes, I can write to destination folder. As I wrote... all files are copied fine from source to destination.

         

        Kind regards,

        Tommy
