Failed to rename temp file: File does not exist

Post by musella »

Hi
I just started using SynchbackPro V8.6.6.3 64 bit version. I ran it 3 times and each time I get this same error 345 times:

Failed to copy from PC D: : Safe copy failed. Failed to rename temp file: File does not exist

I can verify that the files are there in the source directory but they all have a smiliar name. I am thinking the names may be at fault:

\websites\GreyRibbonCrusade\HoHPage\__MACOSX\HoH_GRC_logo7_09_B\._Grey_Ribbon_logo7_09.gif
\websites\GreyRibbonCrusade\HoH\__MACOSX\HoH_GRC_logo7_09\._HoHlogo7_09_outlines.eps

They all have the directory _MACOSX and most have the filename starting with ._

I have no idea why the directory is named that and why the files start with ._ but it is what it is and I can't change it but need to back it up

It could be your antivirus program that deletes the temporary file that is created during a safe copy.
(Temporary files for safe copies are on the format "SBSE____.???", where "???" can be any three letter combination).

Most likely a false positive detected by the heuristic antivirus algorithm on the partly copied temporary file,
because if it really is a virus then the original source file would probably have been deleted instead.
