Backup job creates non-conventional folder path; QNAP cannot read

[Momro]

Hi all,

I've set up a simple and basic home lab recently, including PBS and a QNAP storage. The QNAP has an external USB drive for monthly backups.

Unfortunately, this monthly job fails because the PBS backup creates folders that contain a colon ( : ):



I've looked around the forum and the only solution that I found was a kinda complicated hook script from 2020.

Has anything changed since then?

Looking forward to your responses -- thanks a lot in advance!

Is using USB disc as removable datastore directly on the PBS an option? The idea would be to exclude the PBS datastores from the backup on the qnap and use a sync-job on the PBS to sync your pbs backups to the USB discs.
