Karl,
What program are you using for backup? I do not recognize the error message format as being anything from LOGic.

Reading the message, it seems you are backing up your log and named it such. The target for the backup program seems to be a network server named 'SERVER' which might be the issue. Has this worked in the past?

Since this is a message from a specific backup program, this might not be the best place to ask.

Karl,
My bad. I had never actually used this feature until today. I use LOGic's continuous safety log feature and the an Acronis product with a USB hard drive for backups.

That said, I did test that feature. My logs (and pictures) are around 200 MB and that produced a 50 MB file. It's actually just a ZIP file with a different extension.

It creates this in your %TEMP% folder before copying it to your target folder. That created a few possible issues. You might not have enough room on your temp folder's drive (usually C:\Users\_username_\AppData\Local\Temp). Since your target is a network share, that might have disconnect or timeout issues that LOGic just reports as too much data. The other network share issue I would not think you have until your compressed log gets to 2 GB.

I only have some 25000 log entries and the above file sizes.

Let me suggest the following. Clean out your temp files (CCleaner is my preferred choice and it's free). Plug in a USB drive (does not need to be large). Change that to be the target and run the backup again.
