    1) Check that the BESA has full read/write authority for the entire NAS.

    2) Make sure that there is no other applications accessing the data that you are trying to back up.  AOFO will not work with a NAS.

** EDIT 3 **

I just calculated the size of the Backup Target and the size of the Backed Up Data (per BE Console)

- Target Share = 1843.2 GB

- Backed Up Byte Count = 1670 GB

- There's still approx 170 GB unacccounted for.

- Looking at the total size of the files that were skipped and reported corrupt, which is far less than 170 GB, i should still have a hell of a lot more files that may have not been backed up at all apart from the ones that were reported as 'skipped' or 'corrupt'.

Not sure which way to go now ..

Any help would be highly appreciated.

 

Thanks !
