Hello,

I'm using smb to back up a Windows 7 machine.  I noticed that Windows 7 treats My Pictures, My Videos, etc. differently than regular folders.  They are almost like symlinks that are linked to "real" folders on the filesystem.  (It took me a while to figure out why some of these folders were empty in the BackupPC administrative interface.)

So, I'm writing because I can't figure out where the contents of the My Videos folder is contained.

I'm getting this in my error log:

NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED listing \Documents\My Videos\*
NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED listing \Videos\*

The My Videos folder is supposed to be linked to C:\Users\myuser\Videos, yet BackupPC reports an empty folder.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!
-Frank
