Hello lisa,

Thank you for taking the time to report the problem and providing the details. I appreciate your feedback, will investigate the issue, and work on a solution to the best of my ability.

1. Please post the output of backintime --diagnostics.
2. Describe the profile you are using. Is it Local/SSH/encrypted/XYZ?
3. How do you mount the backup source and destination?
4. Make sure they are mounted.
5. Is there enough free disc space at your backup destination?
6. Start BIT in terminal in debug mode (via backintime-qt --debug), reproduce the problem and post the full terminal output.

If you have any more details to share, feel free to reach out.

Not sure when we'll find the time to work on it. Please see the projects background information to get an idea about our workflow and priorities:

• Maintenance status
• The team
• Strategy outline / Roadmap

Best regards,
Christian
