Troubleshooting internal error (#100000001) - Unable to backup PDF files

 

 

This article applies to:

  • OS: Windows and Mac
  • Product edition: inSync Cloud

Problem description

While backing up PDF files, the backup completes with an error message "Internal error. (#100000001)" in the client logs.

Cause

The "Internal error. (#100000001)" is seen when the files not being backed have an incorrect modified date, which is either in distant past or in future.

The error is seen for the files with modification date of future or distant past. By design,  inSync Client  does not back up files with incorrect date or time.The error is also logged for password protected PDF files which inSync cannot read or access.

Traceback (inSyncclient.log)

Resolution

Exclude non-essential files from backup

Exclude files which you do not require to be backed up from the backup list and subsequently, initiate a backup to see if the backup completes without any errors.

Check and resolve modified date and timestamp of the file

  1. Confirm if the modified date and time of the affected file is correct.
  2. Right-click on the PDF > Properties > General tab > Modified and  check if the dates (of +/- 20 years) format is correct.
