Reflector makes backup folder protected
Reflector makes backup folder protected
I cannot see the new backup folder unless I uncheck "hide protected system files" in explorer. Why is that? Cobian backup 11 did not have this problem.
Re: Reflector makes backup folder protected
Interesting. Have never seen this problem before. What is the source and the destination?

Re: Reflector makes backup folder protected
Hi. I have 2 tasks, and both destinations are hidden, like they are hidden system folders. Both sources are folders on internal drives (C and D and E). Both destination are external USB drives (F and G). I have installed Reflector as a service. None of the sources folders are hidden.

Re: Reflector makes backup folder protected
I just installed Cobian Reflector and ran my first backup task. I have the same problem. I have to uncheck "Hide protected operating system files" to see the backup.
Re: Reflector makes backup folder protected
Does the same thing happens if you disable "Copy file attributes" on the Engines tab of the options?

I disabled it and will let you know tomorrow after my next backup runs.
Re: Reflector makes backup folder protected
After disabling the "Copy file attributes" option, the backup folder is no longer hidden.
Re: Reflector makes backup folder protected
Yes, but I think this happens only if you are backing up a ROOT directory like C:\ or D:\ . Is that the case?

Re: Reflector makes backup folder protected
That was my case, yes. Root directory.
Re: Reflector makes backup folder protected
Yes, this will be solved. By the way, do you exclude the System Volume Information directory? If you exclude it, does the same problem occur?
