Zero file size documents in backups
I am starting to see a lot of documents in my backups with a zero file size. What can be causing this? I am not getting any kind of a error with the backup job runs. there are still a lot of files...
How are you backing these files up? Is it some backup between two NAS units or is it a client to NAS backup? Or something else? Knowing exactly how these are backed up and what devices/applications are involved, will help a lot.
Cheers
The backup job is from a windows server file share to the NAS. Its an incramental backup every 4 hours and a full backup every week.
If you try a drag-and-drop from the PC, do you still see zero file size documents?
If I drag the file from the NAS to my desktop the file has a (ZERO) file size and windows will tell me the file is currupt and won't open it. This is the same if I try to download the file from the NAS web portal as well. I will see if I can post a screen shot of a side by side of the server folder and the backup that is on the NAS.
