Hello,

I have a problem with Cobian BackUp: it is supposed to back up one of my folders (on my laptop) to my wife's desktop. Both PCs communicate via Wifi through the Freebox. Cobian was able to make two backups, but since October, it hasn’t backed anything up (I just realized the problem!!)

Here’s what the task log indicates when I force the backup:

2011-04-24 21:20 This may just be an excerpt from the log file. To see the full file, select "Logs-View log files"
2011-04-24 21:20 ***A new backup has started. Number of tasks in the queue: 1 ***

Thank you for your help

Hello,
Have you checked that the network path actually exists or that it still exists?
Could there be a permissions issue?
Has a password been changed?

Is the remote PC turned on at the time of the backup?

Is the destination drive full?

Well, I re-entered the save location path... apparently it works (even though the password hasn't changed)
I don't understand it, but it works
If the problem occurs again, I will post a new message

Thank you
