[BackupPC-users] backing up Windows 7 libraries
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 -- Gaining the trust of online customers is vital for the success of any company that requires sensitive data to be transmitted over the Web.

You shouldn't link the subdirectories, you should make $TopDir a link to the alternate location: 'ln -s /media/backuppc /var/lib/backuppc'. I receive : cp can't create special file...BackupPC.sock Wow, what program might produce that kind of output? It looks vaguely like an error message from 'cp'. There's no point in copying the socket. BackupPC will re-create it upon startup. Even if you could copy it, the copy would have no effect. |This was sent by rageinh...@msn.com via Backup Central. No comment.
