ReadyNAS internal Backup cannot create certain directories

Ready NAS 214

Firmware 6.10.10

 

Dear Community,

 

I´ve got a problem during internal backup to a connected USB-Hardware-Drive.

 

I save about 1500 files without any problem, but then I´ve got some files the system is not able to copy.

The error message in the protocol is: 

"Cannot create directory XXX/XXX 2023/GA 3611 - 23 VU XXXX !"

 

I`ve got a lot of these kind of files wich are all copied completley without any trouble.

 

But 9 files have the problem and I don´t understand what it is. I`ve already checked if the name of the file is different to others, but I can´t see any problem.

 

Maybe somebody facing the same issue and can help me how it was resolved.

 

Kind regards

    How is the USB drive formatted?

     

    Are you using the built-in internal backup (which uses CP), or are you using rsync?

     

    Have you tried manually creating a folder with the same name?
