I have deleted old safepoints and my current safepoint fails. This is an entry in the WDnas.log:

ERROR: SafeptInstance(3684): 107944935801257069488751194608839889403: Safe-Point is not allocated - target folder ‘/var/media/My_Book//_WDPROT/WDSAFE/30thMarch2019’ missing

30thMarch2019 used to be a safepoint. It has been deleted, and so somehow the settings for the current safepoint have been messed up. How do I straighten things out please?
TIA … Greg

PS: I have read and performed the solution to “The external USB Drive is mounted with a different Share and file system path name than where the Safepoint is located” to no avail. That problem is different to mine anyway, since I do have only one MyBook share. My problem is invalid references to safepoints. share path is

Thanks James,

but I have been through that procedure many times now. Using it I have repaired files with the tilde ~ in filenames and performed other checks.

Nowhere have I seen what to do if log messages refer to a safepoint that no longer exists. That is probably an after-effect of an earlier problem, but how do I clean that up?

TIA …. Greg
