Roon stopped backing up

Roon Server Machine

Networking Gear & Setup Details

Since January 12th I have not been able to perform a backup either manually or scheduled. I tried switching to Dropbox with the same results. Anyone else having this problem since the latest update?

Description of Issue


The error message indicates that the target is no longer available, so, something might have changed. What is ā€œTerrorā€?

The drive you are trying to back up to is either turned off or unavailable on the network for some reason such as network problem, IP address changed?

Terror is the name of the thumb drive. I tried another thumb drive with the same results. I have been able to back up to Dropbox. It seems like something is different since the last update. I used that thumb drive for the whole time that Iā€™ve owned the Nucleus. It stopped backing up on January 12th.

As an aside, thumb drives are not the best to use for backups because they donā€™t have error correcteion, so if any of the thousands of files that get backed up gets corrupted the whole backup is shot. You should use a USB HDD for local backup.

I would take that drive and plug it into a PC and check it. It might have an issue. Do you know what the format of the thumb drive was? It should be exFAT. NTFS will have potential issues with the Linux based OS of the Nucleus.

What is the size in GB of ā€˜TERRORā€™?

If you mount it to your desktop what does it seem to contain?
