When a program such as a backup program descends through the directory tree, the junction point is encountered, and listing its contents (aliased to parent directory) lists again the junction point, which again lists the parent directory, creating an endless loop (do an internet search for "Application Data\Application Data\Application Data" and you will see numerous references to this problem).

I wonder if it is related to the Windows install/upgrade process creating file system junction points, and on occasion creating endless loop(s) in the directory structure (i.e., a link pointing to a parent directory). This exact situation happens on all of my PCs as well. Service installation: local system account (auto start service) I tried searching for "Access is denied" in the forum, Index and help documentation and there were no results, so I decided to post here. However, the error is concerning because something is clearly wrong and I don't know if the backup is intact unless I manually go check the new files against the originals from my PC. Stranger still, when I check the backup itself the files that I was worried aren't being backed up are present (which is good). II also checked the directories in question and there are no special access permissions or read-only rights set on any of them.

Backup 11 had no such issues in the past but I tested it again just to be sure and this error is not replicated there. I'm not sure what is causing this issue, but the way the services, tasks and settings are set up are identical to how I had it set up in Cobian Backup 11 before I switched to Reflector.
