I backup my computer to a NAS using a batch file that runs robocopy and logs all activity to .txt files.
I just discovered while reviewing log files that many files, but nowhere near the majority of files, have been failing with this error:
There is not enough space on the disk.
ERROR: RETRY LIMIT EXCEEDED.
When I looked more deeply, I found that every file that failed this way was a file having the extension ".url". There is nothing else I can see that the failed files have in common: some are short paths, some are long paths. Some have only one work and no spaces (e.g. "Login.url"); others have multiple words with one or more spaces between the words (e.g. "Support Forums - Dell Community.url").
Is there something inherent in robocopy preventing copying of .url files, or is it possible the NAS is denying the copy due to the .url suffix? Is there some way to get a more exact error message from robocopy? I know there is sufficient space, since it copies all the other (and much larger) files than the .url files.
The NAS is a WesternDigital MyCloud device, so probably Linux OS.
