Another way to deal with this on a one time basis is to click on "verify now' under the Settings tab.  Then in the Backup tab, you can see your backup set being re-checked.  When that finishes you can click Backup Now.

Why that happens is a mystery, but it's easy to correct. I've also had times where automatic nighttime backups occur but fail to back up new files. Again, who knows why. IDrive simply doesn't seem to recognize what has changed.To solve it, under Backup, hit Modify and delete one folder from backing up. That forces IDrive to reassess all backed up files to determine whether they are the most current. It takes a while, but clears out the issues above. Once that's done, go to Modify and recheck the folder. Again the reassessment process runs. Then when you run a normal backup (manual or automatic), all new files get backed up and errors go away. Software glitch, apparently, but easy to correct. I do that periodically when more bogus errors are shown. Wed, 25 Jun 2025 05:58:23 +0100
