Access to System Volume Information denied

[PDrill]

I’m running Duplicati - 2.0.2.1_beta_2017-08-01 on Win 7 64bit uploadting to FTP and I noticed something.

If you select the whole drive to backup the backup gives 2 warnings:

Error reported while accessing file: E:\System Volume Information\ => Access to the path 'E:\System Volume Information' is denied.,
Error reported while accessing file: E:\System Volume Information\ => Access to the path 'E:\System Volume Information' is denied. 

The first backup run works (except giving the warnings at the end), but the later runs don’t even run, they give that message instantly.

Noticed that when I tried to backup the whole E: (with 3 directories manually de-selected). When I deleted the whole backup and manually selected all the needed directories (without selecting the whole E: first) it works just fine.

but the later runs don’t even run

Can you give the full error message for the failure?

Did you manage to solve this issue? If so, it would be great if you could provide some quick hints about how you fixed it.
Thanks!

This issue has come up again

Sucessful backup, but always 3 warnings

Hello, I have a configuration, to backup a USB-stick (G:) to my local NAS System.

and I have also had it recently when backing up a NAS share to ACD.

Would it not make sense to exclude */System Volume Information/ by default?

I would think that this is now excluded as part of the “default filters” ?

It is, at least in canary since 09/14/2017 (see it on GitHub)
