on vero 4k my auto backup is not working properly.
in the setting i select auto backup at 06:00am and only keep 1 backup file
but my old backup is still here and does not get overwritten.
so every day i get the message “failed to transfer tar file” and i have to klick ok and after that the system is again checking for updates. But my new backup tar is not in my backup folder, it still contains the old file.
Because my log even is to big to upload, i uploaded the whole kodi.log to download external.
If i delete the old backup file in the folder i can make a manual backup but everytime the automatic update is running i got failed to transfer tar file. Must be something with the rights.

Failed to write file is likely either as a result of permission issues or lack of space.
But look at this:
06:00:41.250 T:3864531952 DEBUG: OSMC BACKUP: : - local required disk space: 3440218344

Your backup file is 3,440,218,344 (about 3.4 GB) in size and you have about 5.3 GB of space. That’s a very large backup. I’m not sure why it’s failing to copy the file but you should seriously consider excluding some categories of data and/or writing it to an external thumbdrive or network drive.
I set the Backup Shedule to backup every day at 6am and only keep 1 Backup, so there should be only the newest file and i think there is a problem with deleting the old backup file.
Nothing special.
