Issue with backing up from Network share

[jfcb]

I also googled Fritz!box in conjunction with Duplicati and found out that most people have problem backing up on the Fritz!box NAS, not from the Fritz!box NAS as I do.

@ts678

Is that just an example, or is it that one file? If many files, is it pretty much every file, or is there a pattern?
Metadata would normally be things like timestamps (Windows has Created and Modified, with Modified a more common and essential one), and maybe security attributes such as the NTFS access control lists.

Each and every file residing on the Fritz!box NAS I want to back up with Duplicati, gives rise to a warning.

@ts678

Can you Explorer right-click Warning file to use Properties to see if General and Security tabs work?
Duplicati will need at least Modified, but to ignore the rest (if you don’t care) you might try skip-metadata:

I think @x86 and you are right about the ACL. Please see the snapshot of the Properties windows of a NAS file: there is no Security tab.

Yet the NAS file has a Date Modified attribute. I don’t know if files on network shares are supposed to have a Security tab. I checked a file in the GMX Mediacenter, mounted in Win 7: also no Security tab.

@ts678

Even better would be if AVM or @x86 (thanks!) can help you find out how to read file metadata normally.

AVM GmbH is not very reactive… I’ll try them if everything else fails.

Your advice to skip-metadata works brilliantly though: no more warnings ! so I might stay here and call it a solved problem.

Thank you guys und Mädels !
