Buenos días:

En el registro de actividad de backup encuentro el siguiente mensaje : Ignorando el directorio "C:\Users\EMMA\AppData\Local\Datos de programa". Motivo: el directorio es un punto de repetición.

¿Cual es el significado?

Cordialmente

Puntos de repetición son llamados en inglés Junction Points (o Reparse points). En Windows un ejemplo de ello son por ejemplo el directorio "C:\Users\EMMA\AppData\Local\Datos de programa" que en realidad no existe y es simplemente un atajo duro a C:\Program data\Application Data\Local\<EMMAS ID>. Es decir es un atajo algo mas complejo pero que puede provocar una recursión infinita cuando se copia a algun destinop del que es parte.

Una explicación mejor en ingles tomada de la pagina de MS:

Junction Points (also commonly referred to as NTFS Junction or Directory Junction) are a type of reparse point which contains link to a directory that acts as an alias of that directory. Junction point work similar to a symbolic link but only for directories. Junction points even though being implemented closely as a symlink, is a Windows exclusive feature. The feature was first introduced in NTFS 3.0 that shipped with Windows 2000. While being similar to a symlink, its working is peculiar. In this article we will take a look at advantages, disadvantages and uses of a junction point.

Since Junction Points are a type of reparse point, we would be comparing it with other reparse points to figure out advantages and disadvantages.

Advantages of Junction Points :

Directory Junctions were introduced in Windows 2000, and therefore is compatible with ever later iteration of windows (symlinks were introduced on windows vista).
Takes less time to resolve.
Does not require administrator privileges during creation (as opposed to symlinks).
Stores absolute path of the target, therefore problems related to relative path doesn’t exist.
