I'm getting this error:

But the strange thing is that when I navigate to the location where the backups are located, then you'll see the backups and nothing is wrong with these backups. But I want to know why my virtualmin server is giving me this error. Can anyone help me?
My FTP is a NAS server ny the way.
With kind regards,

Howdy,
Hmm, do you receive that same error for each backup that's being uploaded?
Also, does your NAS have an option to use SSH rather than FTP? I'm curious if you have better luck with that, or if you receive the same error.

Hello Andrey,
Yes I do recieve the same error for each backup that's being uploaded. That's the weird thing, but these backup files are uploaded to the NAS, but it still gives me this error.
There is a SSH option on my NAS, but I prefer to use FTP, cause it's a standard protocol that we use here. But if there is no other solution to try to fix this error then I will think about it.

My NAS does not have a SSH option unfortunately..
Update.
Guess the FTP on my NAS is bringing me the wrong information (what I already expected). I've tried to backup to another FTP server and everything worked correctly. No errors were found. But I still can't figure it out why my NAS is giving the server the wrong information?
I have a ZyXEL NSA-220. Maybe some of you know why?
Kind regards, Davviiee
I'm unfortunately not sure why you're seeing that particular issue.. my only thought would be to review the logs on your NAS, as maybe there's a more detailed error message on there.
