Re: Cannot copy backup file!!

Does it work if you copy to another directory on same server, not external or remote storage?

Re: Cannot copy backup file!!

Copying to another directory on same server is a way to verify whether or not the local files are broken/damaged/corrupt. If it works, then it might be something wrong with your external/network storage while copying.

I don't think so because I can copy other file in HDD to external/network. Just ONLY Backup file.bz2 CANNOT copy to other place. Any idea please share me. Thank you.

Try to run the backup script manually, can you copy the newly generated backup file to external/network?

Hi, I found the root cause. In default backup file have ':' , So it cannot write to my network drive. After I change file name format, I can save file to network driver. Thank you for your info. smile

Wow ... Thanks for sharing. I will replace ':' by '-' or '.' in next release to avoid similar issues.
