Backup hash error

I am testing Duplicati backup software to archive my backups. I am trying to backup from one usb drive to another usb drive. I am using Windows 10 pro and installed the latest Duplicati version 2.0.5.1_beta_2020-01-18. I get these below error all the time, Backup terminates after these errors, I deleted the backup job and recreated many times still the same issue. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

Welcome to the forum @NK7

I’m not getting a good feel for what you’re trying to improve on by adding Duplicati to the backup mix.
Are the backups being archived from some other backup program, perhaps one without versioning?

That’s not an error message. It’s a report on a file that was “uploaded”, in your case to second USB.

Note that Duplicati is not a file copier. Source changes create dblock and dindex files, and then dlist.
After those files are at the destination, backup is over. What are you seeing that suggests an issue?

Do you have any actual error messages? Typically they pop up near the bottom of the web UI in red.
Job log at <job> → Show log → General may often lack error logs. Try About → Show log → Stored.

Thank you for your help. Below is the error log

Is H: the destination side? This appears to be a Windows permission problem. Are you having Duplicati automatically start as you at login? That would be the installer default. Make sure you can access folder.

In Explorer, you can right-click (probably on your folder) → Properties → Security to see what’s allowed. Easy test is to see if you can write a harmless file (e.g. test.txt) to folder, running as Duplicati’s user.
