Backup to NAS

Post by Chief »

Cannot create folder "\\GOFLEX_HOME\GoFlex Home Backup\Backup Mike". The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect

This backup is scheduled to run each day. I am using Vista Home Premium and I get the error shown above. The backup is already on the NAS and the password has been entered. The test shows positive and the backup will run manually.

I have EXACTLY the same problem with the same setup (except using Windows 7). The backup runs manually but fails when running with the scheduler.

Since the original post, the backup does not even try to run.

Hi,

Do you have the same problem if you select the other scheduler option?
Can you create a new scheduled task from Control Panel->Task scheduler for another application?
Does it runs?
If yes, please compare the task with the scheduled task created by FBackup. What is different?

I have tried both scheduler options.

I tried another task to run at logon of any user and it works.

Changes in the scheduler to not seem to transfer to the Task Scheduler, so I deleted the task from the Task Scheduler and created a new schedule in FBackup only when the user is logged on at a specific time or as soon as possible and nothing happened. It did not run at all. I changed the time for a few minutes in the future to see what happened and nothing happened after a half hour.

Also, I have a problem when I leave Outlook open. It cannot seem to copy the Outlook file.

When I pressed F9, I got the message, "Could not start Test for job Mirror BU to NAS".

I download the last version, (5.2.685.0) and it's worse, the application in the task bar freezes. i must kill the application, start and launch the task manually.

Hi,

Do you have the same problem with the new version of FBackup 5.3.704?
Please try to uninstall the old version before installing the new one. The backup jobs and settings will be preserved.

I see that fbackup is no longer free...... I do not find very "nice" to give as a solution to this bug to replace a free version with a new version that is no longer so.

I install and ...2 minutes later, when i want to try, fbackup say "license problem, you backup trial expired" :(

thanks you for your help, can you propose to me another free backup ? ;)
