This is a FAQ

viewtopic.php?f=4&t=809

FAQ says "This folder AND the folder $RECYCLE.BIN should always be excluded from a task." How do I exclude that system folder? Is there an option to exclude those files? BTW Why is there a system folder on a partition that has only data files (pictures/videos)?

And as said: "If I to the same backup but to another target disk, no errors. " So this is weird

Just add the folder to the Exclusion list of the task.

As I mentioned there are only data files/folders, there is no P:\System Volume Information, so there is nothing I can exclude. How do I fix it?
