backups, files are all named "Copy file" xxxxxx
Backing up media files from ReadyNas 422 to Macbook Air using Windows/NAS (Timestamp) has worked for more than 2 years but now when next backup completes it is continually doing full backups with fil...
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.

It simply appears to me to be saying Copy File 9-1-1 is the name of the folder in which the file exists on the NAS. Is that correct?
I'm not entirely sure what you are trying to do with the incremental backup. If you delete all files in the destination, that's going to force a complete backup, not an incremental one. If the Copy File 9-1-1/ is always a different name, then it's copying from a different folder each time, and that probably explains why you're not getting an incremental backup. The date on the files are all newer than the previous ones, though they may have different content. So, I'd look at how the files are getting to the NAS and into a new folder, not how that new folder's content is being copied to the Macbook.
