Backup "Cannot create directory" of ReadyNAS config file
Doing an SMB backup. Pushing from ReadyNAS to non-ReadyNAS.
A share on the ReadyNAS includes archived ReadyNAS config files.
Log says "Backup Status: Fail: Failure during copy." with a "Cannot create directory" log for the ReadyNAS config files.
Why? How to Fix?

This is a problem on the destination - most likely a file permissions or network access problem.
Can you elaborate, please?
These are the only files that fail on the backup jobs. Succesful connection tests before & after backup jobs.

Possibilities in the backup job setting include
- path name typed incorrectly in the backup destination
- account credentials typed incorrectly for the backup destination
- perhaps wrong destination device name or IP address
Possibilities on the remote device are
- backup share doesn't give the NAS write access in the network settings
- backup share folder doesn't give the NAS write access
Note there are two settings on the remote device that both need to allow the NAS write access - the network settings and the folder permissions.
