Hi,

On windows, I have an encrypted partition I’m trying to backup. here is a snap attempt:

C:\WINDOWS\system32>kopia snapshot create --all
    Snapshotting Antoine@desktop-xxx:J:\ ...
     \ 0 hashing, 6 hashed (1.9 MB), 37990 cached (102.1 GB), uploaded 208 B, estimating...                     ←[33m

     * 0 hashing, 6 hashed (1.9 MB), 45868 cached (113.2 GB), uploaded 8.9 KB (1 fatal errors), estimating...

    ERROR: Found 1 fatal error(s) while snapshotting Antoine@desktop-xxx:J:\.

Is this an expected error?
Thanks

Yeah, this directory is not readable by regular users.

So what’s the best alternative? Snapping the subdirectories one by one?
or is it safe to ignore the error?

Thx

Is there something in it that you want backed up?

Yes. Every folders. In fact, the partition is encrypted, but J: refers to where it is mounted in clear. For now, I snap every single directories in J:. I suppose it might not be as efficient (is it ?) as snapping the parent directory, J: if possible.
