My nas is now working normally after many alterations etc.. non of which I can say exactly was the culprit but the problems fixed, one may have been- Shares/(Problem share) File access/ Reset/ reset permissions. It was deffinatly a nas problem not Win/Mac.
This problem has shown it head a few times in the past 4 years but was fixed by formatting or deleating all backup files on the destination drives & making a new backup for those files.
So now when i do a backup to win/pc & Mac only takes a very short while & no "Copy File" in the Log file is incrumental, & everything is back to normal. I'm sorry for not being literate on this as i'm 80yo & grey matter is failing to remember as time goes on. thanks everyone for assistance.

What are the source and destination directory and file names of these files?
Is it possible that the destination folder or files have become read-only, at least to the user name used for the backup job (though I think it would just completely fail in that case)?
