In Vista, the user folders are in c:/Users. The "c:/Documents and 
Settings" is a junction point, which is a symlink that points to 
c:/Users. Bacula doesn't descend into the symlink, only into the real 
directory. Otherwise, it would make duplicate copies of everything in 
c:/Users. There is no need to, since the actual data is in c:/Users. You 
can either ignore this message, or you can exclude the "c:/Documents and 
Settings" directory from the backup job.

Windows by default gives the symlink NTFS permissions so that even 
Administrator cannot directly open the symlink itself. There is no need 
to backup c:/Documents and Settings. It is just a symlink. The real data 
is in the c:/Users directory.
