Perhaps you are not cleaning the archive attribute?

I switched to clean archive atribute but it is not helping at all...

from replies I see above, I have really impression that nobody is willing to really help here...

I think very few people are using Gravity at this time.

But if you are cleaning the archive attributes and the VERBOSE log doen't say anythink like "Permission denied " or so...then I really don't know.

thx guys,

upgrading to successor version Cobian Backup -> Reflector really solved the problem

cool thing is, that even migration of backup tasks to new software works perfectly
