Description¶
The backup destination being used does not support NTFS attributes. The selected files will still be backed up correctly, but the NTFS attributes will not be included in the backup.
Resolution¶
Resolution 1 - Use a destination that is NTFS formatted
The destination does not support NTFS attributes because only an NTFS format can hold these attributes correctly. If they are needed, back up to a destination formatted with NTFS or format the current destination as NTFS.
