"Cannot find the files or folders selected for the backup"

Thread needs solution

I selected to backup folders in the X:\ virtual drive created by an encryption program we depend on called Boxcryptor and am getting this error.   Note that there's no problem selecting these folders when I say "change source", and these folders are easily accessible from every other program.   And, for this local backup, I need to access the folders in the X:\ drive to backup the unencrypted files...

I saw similar issues in past forum posts, but already tried setting the option for "No snapshot" as suggested in the forums, and this didn't help.

And, BTW, I tried contacting support via chat, and that was the least helpful support experience I could think of!   The rep didn't seem to understand the issue, and then ended the chat suddenly while I was typing a response...

In any case, given that Acronis clearly has been able to back these types of drives in the past, is there any solution to backing it up now??

Thanks!

Dave.

David, just doing a brief scan through the description for Boxcryptor showed the following statement: Protect your private data in the cloud with our free or personal plan.

This suggests that the files you are attempting to include in your backup source is not actually present on your local disk drive but rather is being stored within cloud storage and accessed from the same.  As such ATI cannot access that data as it does not follow links to remote files.
