Luis, would you mind giving me a bit more info on this? I'm trying to make a 100% identical, non-compressed backup of an important directory. I notice that only 20334 of 22331 files, and 1987 of 2045 files were copied into the backup. Shadow Copy is on. Looking at the log I see that an important subdirectory called Admin was ignored. The log says:
Ignoring the directory "C:\Users\Paul\OneDrive - [redacted]\Admin". Reason: the directory is a reparse point.
This may be the primary (or even only) reason for the discrepancy. What I don't understand is why this subdirectory is being treated differently to the others. As far as I know there is nothing special about it at all. Currently the "ignore reparse points in directories" option is checked (which I understand is the default behavior). Does this mean that, if Cobian Reflector identifies the directory as a reparse point, it will simply not copy it into the archive? Does unchecking the box cause Reflector to simply copy the directory irrespective of whether Cobian thinks it's a reparse point?
