Ignoring Directory parse point.

Post by chrisstargiotti »

Hi, I see that backups of my local drive are ignoring the user OneDrive Documents folder. I keep most important files on an external drive, but I do want to backup files on a cloud drive. Am I able to backup this folder?

2022-06-27 01:05:35 Ignoring the directory "C:\Users\chris\OneDrive\Documents OneDrive". Reason: the directory is a reparse point.

Thanks, Chris

Hi all,

unchecking the reparse point now ends up with this:
2022-11-29 19:34:35 * Backup part for the task "Local Hans Files" has ended *
2022-11-29 19:34:35 * Number of backed up files: 0. Backup part size: 0 bytes. *
2022-11-29 19:34:35 Backing up the directory "C:\Users\Admin\Documents" to "E:\Cobian Backup\Hans\Files\Documents"...
ERR 2022-11-29 19:34:35 An error occurred while listing the content of the directory "C:\Users\Admin\Documents\Mijn afbeeldingen": (5) Toegang geweigerd: [C:\Users\Admin\Documents\Mijn afbeeldingen]

2022-11-29 19:34:35 The archive attribute for "C:\Users\Admin\Documents" has been removed.
2022-11-29 19:34:35 The file attributes have been copied from "C:\Users\Admin\Documents" to "E:\Cobian Backup\Hans\Files\Documents".
2022-11-29 19:34:35 The timestamps have been copied from "C:\Users\Admin\Documents" to "E:\Cobian Backup\Hans\Files\Documents".
2022-11-29 19:34:35 The directory "C:\Users\Admin\Documents" has been backed up.

(5) means access denied. Which is strange as Cobian runs under the same account as Admin and the folders are accessible within explorer. What changed between Windows10 and Windows11? It must be a permissions issue, at least that's what I think. Driving me nuts.... any help is more than welcome

If you run the program as an application, does it work as expected?
