No backup for NTFS mount points?

Thread needs solution

I have a 3TB HDD mounted as the folder as NTFS mount point C:\WD and the folder C:\WD\Photos contains about 2TB of data. Acronis backs it up in about in a minute and the size of the backup is 2kB. What is going on?

How can I backup this folder?

Vee, sorry but you need to make a backup of the original location for any mount points as these are ignored otherwise.

If your mount point original locations have drive letters, then select these for a Files & Folders backup task.

If your mount point original locations do not have drive letters, then use a Disks & Partitions backup to select the hidden / system partitions where the data is stored (after clicking on 'full partition list' in the Source selection panel).
