Macrium defect - can't delete a backup

Hi there

I'm trying to move / copy some macrium backup files to different HDD's.

Windows 1803 (current "Normal" windows build with latest Macrium update gives me following error



Easy enough to delete and move using Linux live distro or KYHI disk - but this error shouldn't occur -- nothing wrong in wanting to move / re-arrange backup files !!!!

First time I've ever had this error.

Hi there

No -- not enabled.

I switched the HDD´s to my skippy build and it´s working fine
so it only happened on the 1803 (standard) build.

One thing that can give inappropriate/confusing error messages when a file cannot be found/moved/deleted is when the folder concerned is being protected by Defender's Controlled Folder Access. It may be that on the 1803 machine concerned that drive/folder is included in the list of folders under Ransomware Protection.

Hi there

I changed nothing on the 1803 system apart from updating to latest version of Macrium and standard Windows updates -- If Windows updates interfere with how you operate your system and change settings without warning you then that's a BAD BAD idea.

I'm in favour of decent security but if there are any changes in policy or the way it's going to work after update then I think the user should be warned and given the option of either skipping the update or being able to re-set machine to how it was working before. !!!

Anyway I've got round the problem by using the skippy build.
