Hi,

I am getting the classic error showing up with the newest version of Lightroom.

Any suggestions on why ?  I tried the choose a different folder, I have enough space etc..

Thanks in advance.

Looks like you are using a NAS?

Check the NAS security settings. See if something changed.

Nothing to do with the NAS, but good idea so thanks

The catalogue and backups are all happening to local disks 

Tried changing the location

Tried the config.lua fix

Thoughts?

I now have this issue as well... I clicked continue several times (like 100) and it gets me no where....

Did you get a solution on this?

I am about to lose my mind 😞

Is that file name running into an OS or other issue invoving file name length?

have you tried the ssteps listed here:

Basically: 

• Launch Lightroom.

• (Win) Choose Edit menu > Preferences.

  (Mac) Choose Lightroom > Preferences.

• When the Preferences dialog appears, select the Presets tab.

• In the Presets tab, click the Show Lightroom Presets Folder button. Lightroom opens the root preset folder in the File Explorer (Win)/Finder (Mac).

• In the File Explorer (Win)/Finder (Mac), navigate to the Lightroom folder.

• Go to Adobe Creative Cloud and download the config.lua file. Copy the downloaded config.lua file into the Lightroomfolder mentioned in Step 5.

  This config.lua file will reconfigure the old backup behavior in Lightroom.

• Relaunch Lightroom.

  You should be able to back up your catalog now.
