One of my backup failed.
here is the error I can read in the log :
07-02-08 00:18 - 6 - Backup commited
07-02-08 00:18 - 6 - 14922 traces read.
07-02-08 00:21 - 6 - Rollback complete
....
07-02-08 00:21 - 1 - An error occured during the processing of target PC151.com.application.areca.ApplicationException: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Negative time
...
Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Negative time
...
In fact it seems that the backup is complete but I can not
be sure.
I can browse the archive content in Areca and if I look in
the backup, I can see many files.
Does someone have any idea what's get wrong ?

PS : I am using areca 4.1.7 running on W2k
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
It seems that Areca attempts to set a negative time (ie before 1/1/1970) for a file as last modification time.
I made some tests but didn't reproduce the problem ... could you try to do exactly the same backup (ie not compressed, not incremental) but of a LOCAL directory (it seems that you try to backup the c drive of a remote computer) ... just to see wether it is a network problem or not ...
Thanks

the problem occurs only on that computer (PC151).
In the group backup, I have 2 remote computers and only PC151
produces this error (so I think it is not a network problem).
There is no error in an incremental backup (after the initial one)
Thanks for help.

I have found the problem !!
2 files in a directory had strange date :
12.12.1617 (in the explorer, no date were displayed)
the other one no date at all.
after fixing the date of the first one, the error was :
1com.application.areca.ApplicationException: java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: ""
at com.application.areca.AbstractRecoveryTarget.commitBackup(AbstractRecoveryTarget.java:382)
......
at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source)
Caused by: java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: ""
I have also changed modif date and everything works fine now !!
Thanks Olivier ;)

Probably the author will need the whole stack trace (the long list after the exception), could you provide that part also?
