Missing Files in Backup. Mounted NTFS drive.

Thread needs solution

I just run a files backup over my windows account (Documents and Setting / my account). Inside this directory I have a disk mounted using NTFS over "my documents" (SSD Disk) where the majority of the information resides.
The backup setting included ALL files under (Documents and Setting / my account) but when I review the backup file it has NOTHING on "my documents".
the backup process reports no problems, the validation process reports no problems.
HELP.

My Documents is not a real folder. It's a junction point, like an alias. The actual files are under C:\Users\\Documents
I'm not sure how a file/folder backup handles this, so try backing up the real location that I listed.

tuttle - as I understand, here is another problem that "my documents' is not a junction to some other point on filesystem, but a mount point to another volume, and its 'real' location is not available as some other path.
Backup & Recovery 11(.5) has an option http://www.acronis.com/support/documentation/ABR11.5/#12762.html . Not sure how TI Home handles this.
Mario - if you select only the mount point explicitly, does it backup its content?
