Bug Description
I have a remote drive locally mounted through NFS as a destination for my backups.
From the log I can see that the command "cp -aRl ...." fails with code 256 , so it seems it cannot create hard links in the target folder. Indeed it takes a huge amount of time to perform the backup.
Creating an hard link manually on the drive works.
How can I solve this?
To post a comment you must log in.
Doesn't need to be hard links which will fail that command. Could be permissions or corrupt files, too.
Please copy the 'cp -aRl' command, manually create the 'new_snapshot' folder and run the command manually from Terminal. This should show the exact error.
BTW backing up to a mounted share is very inefficient. Rather use BackInTimes SSH mode.
