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.

I'm a bit puzzled by the "copy file" name in the title. Are you saying that the file name on the Mac doesn't match the file name on the original? If so, did this happen when you started over - that is, where the file names incorrect on the Mac after you ran the first backup after the resets?
Did you confirm that the file dates and file sizes match on the two systems?
I'm wondering if something changed on the Mac or the NAS - OS update on the Mac, or a firmware update on the NAS???
Sorry for delayed answer. It's working normally now but i did check all file sizes are the same mac/pc
My problem starts when the backup occurs & it takes over an hour & the backup "Log file" says 'copy file' at the beginning of each file, this & following backups are FULL backup (not incrumental).
So the only fix was to format mac/pc destination drive/s, then on the nas delete the b/u setting it & make new Backup & re-run, that fixed the problem in the past....until now... 'I think' that one of my many changes, fixed the problem, & it was b/u from a 2nd nas to USB ssd Rsync, factory main nas & restore the files from USB SSD then b/u is normal after first full b/u & is Incremental. Thanks for all the help in this matter my Backups now only take minutes & are automated without any problems.
