Can't Seem to Exclude System Volume Information

[JPriestly]

Hello!

Sorry if this has been asked before. I searched, couldn't find an answer. I did see another post where someone was having a similar problem and was pointed to this post:

viewtopic.php?f=4&t=809

I have added System Volume Information to the excluded list, but it still gives me this error every day:

ERR 2024-04-20 04:05:30 An error occurred while checking for mirror changes: (5) Access is denied: [E:\System Volume Information]

Here's what I did:

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks!

Hi Cobian,

Yes, I did. I linked to that post in my post.

Am I excluding System Volume Information incorrectly?

It's not giving an error for any of the other folders in my excluded list, just E:\System Volume Information.

Thank you.

I think that is because the folder existes in the destination. If you delete it from the destination, I think it won't bother you anymore.

Hi Cobian,

Thanks for the reply. I don't think that directory can be deleted. Or, at least, I can't delete it. Anyone know how?

Thank you.

It surely cannot be deleted from teh source but are you sure it cannot be deleted from the destination?

[JPriestly]

Yep. Windows doesn't allow me to delete it. I even tried command line:

You are trying to delete it from tehSOURCE. That is completly IMPOSSIBLE.

Hi Cobian.

I must be missing something. Apologies for that. According to how I set it up, D is the source, E is the destination.

Yes, but this rmdir is trying to remove the System Volume Information of E, which is impossible (every drive has its own one).
