I wrote a script to run a mirror backup of my PC to an external HDD. This went well. I then used a similar script to make a 'differential style' backup using UPDATE instead of MIRROR.
However, it seems the previous backup applied read-only flags to all the files & I get a failure report like this:
I tried to clear the flags in Properties but that does not work. I then used a script that was supposed to remove flags but that fails as well.
Any help would be appreciated. I just purchased BC4 as my backup software is not compatible with Windows 10 & now I have no backup!
However, it seems the previous backup applied read-only flags to all the files & I get a failure report like this:
Unable to copy \\MyPC\HDD\Backup\Beyond Compare\Using Beyond Compare for backups - mirroring.url: Read-only archive
#Must expand all folders so that select will work

# Select all files in the backup directory on server
