[RESOLVED] Backup finishes with “Item 'C:/' is already included” warning

Hi Stefan,

Don’t worry, this is just a warning message which usually means that two folders ‘C:\Documents and settings’ and ‘C:\Users’ are included in one backup plan. It can happen if you upgrade from Windows XP or Windows Server 2003 to a newer OS – in that case old ‘Documents and settings’ is moved by operating system to ‘C:\Users’. So, the first folder becomes a link to a second folder, which has been already included to the backup plan. That is why you receive this warning message.

To get rid of this message, you can simply remove folder ‘C:\Documents and settings’ from the backup plan. And yes, your backup is healthy for recovery even with this warning message.
