We moved our installation to a new server and noticed an error when we run backups to an off-server location.
When you run the backup, it creates a temp file of the backup bundle, then copies it to the storage server. Once complete, it deletes the temp file. In our case, we’re getting an error that it can’t delete the temp file.
So, the first thing is, I’d love to know where these temp files are stored so I can make sure it’s cleaned out. Second, I’m curious if there is a permissions issue with that folder that isn’t handled under the “fwconsole chown” script.
Any help is greatly appreciated for either item.
Here’s the error on the pop-up window:
Saving Backup 4…done!

Error deleting -rw----r-- 1 208983792 Apr 13 06:10 20160413-090956-1460552996-13.0.105-1284716203.tgz

Backup completed with errors!
we have run into this as well. it seems to have crept in 10.13.66 track. you get one line of the Error deleting… for every backup location you have in the backup. if you just use an off site server and no local file, you get the error once, if you also store a copy of the backup locally you get the error again. the issue is caused when you have reached your backup count. for example if you say to delete after 2 runs, you get the error when running the third backup. it in fact does not seem to delete the oldest backup. look at how many files you have on your back up server, you probably will see the count increasing.
