Hi,

I will try to reset the file permissions, do I just need to remove all permissions or re add them to the shares?

Thanks for you help so far

Thanks

If you look at the file access tab for the share, you will see a "reset" control.  I'm suggesting that you use that.  It will reset the owner and permission of each file and folder in the share to match the share settings.

    Thank you.

    I have done that and also set up a separate rsync job to see if that runs any better. Will feedback with results in the morning

    Thanks.

      After re seting the permissions the backup still failed.

      However, the new rync back up ran successfully and the first incremental was also successful tonight.

      So although the original issue was not solved I have a work around.

      Thank you for the help.
