Hi

I’ve set up CloudBerry Bare Metal running on Win Server 2012 backing up to B2.

Most of the backup seems to work just fine – but I am having issues where CloudBerry is recursively backing up system folders which are symlinked or junctioned. This relates to C:/Documents and Settings/Application Data and D:\ProgramData\Application Data (suspect others but haven’t got that far).

I have attached a screenshot from B2 of the recursive backup. This recursive system doesn’t exist on the originating file system – one way I can tell it certainly doesn’t exist is that the source file system is a 105GB drive and only has 65GB used space – but this recursive set of folders alone backup is at 70GB+ and growing rapidly – seemingly another 20 layers or so of recursion to backup. A third party file tree explorer confirms that this set of folders doesn’t exist – CloudBerry is creating them. This provides almost certain interpretation it’s CloudBerry going round in circles (has it tried to hardcode on top of a junction/symlink?) rather than a source drive issue.

When selecting source files/folders to backup in CloudBerry there is no option to exclude Junctions (they simply don’t show up in the file explorer selection screen despite being able to see them in the windows file exporer). Is there some way to exclude Junctions and Symlinks? Since the destination of these will get picked up anyway

Cheers
