Re: HS3 "Failed to upload metadata"
Are you talking about a single folder with 200 GB files in it or are you talking about a folder with subfolders?
RAID have never ever been a replacement for backups. Without backups on a different system (preferably placed at another site), you will eventually lose data!
A non-RAID configuration (including RAID 0, which isn't really RAID) with a backup on a separate media protects your data far better than any RAID-volume without backup.
All data storage consists of both the primary storage and the backups. It's your money and your data, spend the storage budget wisely or pay with your data!

Re: HS3 "Failed to upload metadata"
I have the same problem.
I can backup my Documens, Music and Videos folders (all of the small folders, less than 0.3 TB) but its impossible to backup my Photogaphy folder and subfolders (1.9 TB).
I am using HBS 3 version 4.2 and have tried for two months different conditions with or without cumulative versions and with or without QuDedup. Impossible to backup my photograps. Could anyone in the forum help me?

Unlikely as noboby have been able to provide the answer in the almost 6 months since the thread was opened.
I would recommend that you instead contact Qnap support. Please report back here with their answer to help other users, as several seem to have the same issue as you.

Re: HS3 "Failed to upload metadata"
Thank you P3R
I contacted them. It took one week to have a message asking me for more info, and 3 weeks to have, lets say, a diagnosis:
"The backup job failed due to the eventual consistency behavior of Hubic. The backup job will wait at most 10 seconds after files uploaded to Hubic and check if the file really exists on Hubic. Apparently waiting 10 seconds is not enough, so I increase it to 100 seconds and start the backup job again."
It works!
Now I have another problem since, even without qudedup enabled, I can not program different versions of the backup.
I will have to look up in another forum.
Thank you again.

Re: HS3 "Failed to upload metadata"
Client 2020, you say to increase the wait time. Where/How do I do this?
dolbyman says not to upload metadata at all. Where is this option?

Re: HS3 "Failed to upload metadata"
My Data Analytics tab does not have this option.
The only checkbox on the data analytics tab is "I have read and agree to the terms of the Privacy Policy".
I have unchecked this, I will report the results, it takes a while to complete this job.
Also, this is a terrible error handling message, also this error makes si so the restore function does not work. Why in god's name would a data analytics failure make my whole backup unusable?

Re: HS3 "Failed to upload metadata"
This did not work. Any other suggestions?
I unticked the "I have read and agree to the terms of the Privacy Policy" box on the data analytics tab. That's as close as I could come to dolbman's suggestions.
I still get the error Failed to Upload Metadata Check your network settings.
Other suggestions?
How do I increase the wait time as suggested by Client2020? The error handling rules (under Rules --> Options) is 1800 secs by default. This doesn't seem to be the setting referred to...
