Everything Not Searching Locked Folders Acronis Makes

Post by cloves »

Hi all,

Running 1.4.1.932(x64) and I have multiple drives inc an ssd drive I just installed connected. Acronis backup has made folders on one of the ssd partitions that show up with a lock in Windows 7. Everything search isn't cataloging that folder and th4e backups in it consequently.

I can't see any option to lock a folder or drive with Acronis True Image 2019.

What Acronis software are you using?

(If it is True Image, wouldn't that be making an [essentially] single file that contains the "image"?
Now TI may offer a utility that reads that file & presents it in a directory type structure?

If it's the Acronis Backup program, perhaps that works similarly rather then on a file/directory basis, in which case, you'd be in the same boat.)

I'm using acronis 2016 and the backup folder was made using the USB boot thumb method, think this is a permission issue. When I'm inside of windows 7 I can access the folder but I do see a lock icon.

Maybe Acronis is creating a virtual filesystem in File Explorer?
(something like the contents of Zip-files are showing in Exlorer)

Can you see those files in CMD?

You mean in File Explorer / Windows Explorer?
What do you see when you:
- Start CMD
- enter command CD X:\my folder (replace X:\my folder with the actual folder)
- Enter command DIR /a
?
