Using ViceVersa Pro Server on a Windows Server 2019 Essentials. I'm getting the error code "Can not copy ntfs additional streams of folder"Z:\......."

How do you solve this issue?

I am doing back up Mirror.

Profile File: [None]* (not saved)

Folders
- Source: "\\?\M:\"
- Target: "Z:\"
- Include Subfolders: Yes
- Create sources/targets that do not exist
Comparison
- Comparison Type: Size and Timestamp
Execution
- Method: Backup (Mirror Source to Target)
- No archive for deleted/replaced source files
- No archive for deleted/replaced target files

Result: Execution completed with file copy/delete errors.

Source Target Total Size Total Size
Added Files 0 0 299 18.40GB
Updated Files 0 0 0 0
Deleted Files 0 0 0 0
Errors (Adding) 0 0 82,502 1,876.59GB
Added Subfolders 0 - 30 -
Deleted Subfolders 0 - 0 -
Errors (Adding) 0 - 3,967 -

I am only able to transfer about 50% of the files. Have run it about 5 times.

here is a typical Error:

Copying folder \\?\M:\OWC Mercury Elite Pro\Zoot Sims\For Lady Day\ [Can not copy NTFS Additional Streams of folder "Z:\OWC Mercury Elite Pro\Zoot Sims\For Lady Day\". Access is denied.] [ERROR].

Hi, you an check what these additional file streams for folders are , that can't be copied using PowerShell:

Get-Item * -Stream *

You can instruct ViceVersa not to copy additional file streams , with option in ViceVersa profile settings:
Do not copy file/folder alternate data streams

Not copying the files in these folders is not an option. Is there no fix?

Hi, these are not the files , they are the additional file streams attached to the folders, see: https://www.tgrmn.com/web/kb/item90.htm
