Cannot create archive

(1/2) > >>

Lars:
Whenever I boot up, I get the error message that no new archive can be created.
Does anybody know how to fix this error ? I had this in the past but I cannot remember what I did to make that error go away.

Tom:
Right-click on an empty place of the Desktop, and choose Properties --> Archives tab --> uncheck "Archive Desktop".
Standard it is checked, and 3 generations of archives are kept.

Could it be that you are are running out of free space for a new archive that is larger in size than the one about to be replaced?

Lars:
I don't have a space problem. However, unchecking and rechecking "Archive Desktop" might do. I'll give it a try.

Dave Yeo:
When it happened here, I increased the number of archives from 3 to 4 and it started working. I think I also had to delete a bad archive as well but I don't remember clearly.

Lars:
Turning it off and back on again did the trick. Thanks !
