Mx Diag error

Hello
I seem to be generating huge MX Diag files filled with the following error
2022-03-01 20:40:00.081 BackupData: Error while attempting to read/delete folder: backup\daily\20211230000000, error message: Access to the path 'backup\daily\20211230000000' is denied.
This error message is repeated umpteen times a second and every ten minutes a new 760 Mb Mxdiag txt file is generated
Strange thing is the folder "backup\daily\20211230000000" is there but its empty, is that the problem? Is the program trying to access/delete non-existent files?
Not sure what the daily files are for but everything else seems to be operating normally
Should I worry? What can I do to stop it?

That location is where your data files would've been backed up on 30/12/2021. Something on your computer has that location locked so Cumulus couldn't access it to save the data files to it. The error messages have probably been happening since 30th December. Here's what I would do: stop Cumulus and try to delete the locked folder. If you can't then reboot and (after checking Cumulus isn't running) try to delete the folder again. If you still can't delete then something still has it locked - and I would Google what to do about deleting it.

Where is your Cumulus MX folder located to?

Thanks for the quick reply, not sure what has locked that folder, nothing else seems to be running

I used process explorer and lockhunter but couldnt find out what had locked it
So I stopped CMX, deleted the folder and restarted CMX
CMX hung at the working directory stage and went no further
Then i rebooted, CMX started as normal and then hung again
I was using 3160
So I installed CMX (3169) to c:\cumulusmx and copied the data folder and cumulus.ini from my previous install
Restarted all is well
Thanks to both of you for the help

Hello I have the same problem, the CumulusMX/backup folder contains 10 files with backups and 1 daily backup of the last 2 days.
I am using an RPI4B with a 128gb ssd stick.
Code: Select all

It looks like the program you are using to view the folder cannot open it either?

Did you ever figure out a root cause for this? I'm experiencing the same exact thing.
