Error backup job 'name': destination cannot be accessed. USB Disc. RN316 OS 6.5.0
RN316 F/W OS 6.5.0 (yes I know .1 was just released...) I have two, same, USB3 external HDDs. tl;dr - one fails with 'destination cannot be accessed.' when I run a backup to it. It connects O...
I formatted the Red HDD, now shows up as USB_HDD_6.
First full backup worked.
2nd incremental worked.
I then connected the Black and ran its job, error 'destination cannot be accessed.' (which was the Red error previouly).
Reran Red backup, OK.
I'm surmising that an incremental share backup is relying on something on the destination which the other backup job is overwriting.
Seeking confirmation via this
So any suggestions on how to do incrementals to two destinations?
I'm now testing a 'remote' Windows/NAS (timestamp) from the same local NAS as the host...
Well two alternating jobs as discribed in OP but using remote Windows/NAS (timestamp) also results in 'destination cannot be accessed.' on the alternate incremental job.
aaarrghhh
If it is using timestamps (presumably comparing source file to possibly existing file in destination) WHY should it not work?
or is 'remote Windows/NAS (timestamp)' an independent setting to the 'options: shedule full backup & remove the contents of the backup destination before full backup' setting?
ie set to full everytime & no not delete destination, but the remote (timestamp) takes care of the incremental bit?
(I have red the doco btw, not particularly edifying...)
