Hi. First, thank's a lot for this great freeware.

I have a problem with FTP backup to Synology NAS. "Test settings" in "ftp server settings" test passes without any problems.
When running a full backup with a schedule, I get an error:
2024-02-28 18:00:01 Połączony z 192.168.1.152:990.
2024-02-28 18:00:01 Zalogowałem się do zdalnego serwera.
2024-02-28 18:00:26 Zdalny katalog "/backup/SR" został pomyślnie utworzony. <- this directory exists all the time
ERR 2024-02-28 18:00:26 Nie udało mi się zmienić zdalnego katalogu na "/backup/SR": /backup/SR: File exists. (code=550)

Sometimes the task is performed correctly without errors. have been struggling with this problem for several weeks now, I also set the task again manually because the list was imported from Cobian Backup and I thought that was the problem. Please help.

No idea. FTP servers on a lot of NAS are quite weird to be honest. What kind of NAS are you using?

Synology NAS. A copy of another computer to the same NAS, a copy made by Cobian Backup works.
Is it possible to temporarily import the task list from Reflector to Cobian Backup?

Or can there be Cobian Reflector alongside Cobian Backup on the same machine?

Yes, those can work side by side,

2024-03-08 18:00:26 The remote directory "/backup/SR" has been successfully created.
ERR 2024-03-08 18:00:26 Couldn't change the remote directory to "/backup/SR": /backup/SR: File exists. (code=550)
Any idea what's wrong?

Maybe, the program is taking /backup/SR like a file and not like a directory?

Try to put /backup/SR/ and see if that works
