Backup Central

I started a new backup over NSF to my NAS box with new disk and the first backup went without errors but the second backup gives me errors..:

rsnapshot encountered an error! The program was invoked with these options:
/usr/bin/rsnapshot daily
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Why are these errors occuring?

What file system are you backing up to? Sounds like its not getting
the whole name or some such.

The filesystem on my NAS is ext4... And I have seen this before... And if I delete the file that is the cause from my NAS, then the backup can work ok for months before the same
error suddenly appears again...
