Re: [Bacula-users] Bacula VSS problems / ERR=Access is denied

[Bruno F. <br...@io...>]

Ok I understand the trouble I've got with a dynamic mount point .
I've a directory c:/data which is the mount point for a second drive under windows 2003 R2
In fileset I want to backup only the directory and what's inside.

After the upgrade to 2.2 version I've hit the access deny error.

I bypass the trouble in affecting also a drive letter D: and correct the fileset to point to D:
and this work ....
