Cobian Reflector • ERR The destination directory "E: 2023-05-23 23;05;21 (Differential)" couldn't be created: (2) ...

I wish to perform a differential backup on the E: drive. To do this, I used a volume copy utility to create a copy of E: on another disk. I then selected all files and folders and turned off the "File is ready for archiving" advanced attribute bit using explorer properties right click.

I am trying to get Cobian Reflector to only archive newly created files, or modified by creating a zip file on the Z: disk in the \backupE directory.

When I run the task, I get the following error message:

ERR 2023-05-23 23:05:21 The destination directory "E: 2023-05-23 23;05;21 (Differential)" couldn't be created: (2) The system cannot find the file specified: [E: 2023-05-23 23;05;21 (Differential)]

Here are my settings:

I have set Engine Options First backup full to OFF.

The General settings are:

On Enabled
On Include subdirectories
On Create new separated backups
On Use archive attributes
On Use Volume Shadow Copies
Backup Type - Differential backup

The Files settings are:
Source E:
Destination Z:\backupE

The Schedule settings are:
Manual

The Dynamics settings are:
Priority Normal
Full copies to keep 0
Differential copies to keep 1
Incremental/Differential transformations
Make a full backup every .. 0

The Archive settings are:
Compression type: Compress files individually
Method : Zip
Off Encrypt the files
Compression Level 6

The Filter settings are not set

The Events settings are not set

My Advanced Settings are:
ON Use absolute paths
ON Always create top partent folder (grayed)
OFF Clear archive attribute(!)
ON Include backup type in the name
ON Ignore empty directories
OFF Run the task as some other user

Can someone help determine what my problem is?
