Windows 10: 7-Zip can create two folders with exact same name which will stop FileHistory

Hi.


If you go to


https://gitlab.com/c.v.a/maturaarbeit-KSA/-/tree/master/MA-Vorlage


you'll note that there's two folders sharing the same name "Präsentation". I downloaded the whole directory and extracted it using 7-Zip and now there's still two folders with exact same name but different contents! How is that possible?

I only found out about this after hours of troubleshooting because it stopped FileHistory from working.


Also, it doesn't happen if I use Windows Explorer to extract the zip archive. It will try to merge the folders and ask which one to keep if there are files of the same name inside.


What is this?

:)

 

FileHistory stops working

Hello

In have FileHistory backup not working correctly.

After my desktop backup for the portioned drives C: and D: stopped say 6 weeks ago. I have tried a number of suggestions from the form but have not got things working until yesterday 27/6/2020.

After using the same USB extension drive to back up my laptop which worked.

I tried the same usb derive with the desktop and found that by selecting the drive as new a new list of folders to be backedup was created only for drive C: and the FileHistory back up worked again.

Now IF I add any folder on derive D: to the backup list FileHistory stops working.

If I remove the D: related folder FileHistory works again.

When FileHistory stops working event viewer shows the 1st error message .

In the past when FileHistory didn't work EV showed both errors.

Unable to scan user librariles for changes and perform backup.

C:\Users\pflet\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\FileHistory\Configuration\Config

File/directory was not backed up due to being encrypted or insefficent permissions.

D:\System Volume Information.

As enyone seen this?

Could this be the System volume information folder on D: ?

Can this folder be replaced / repaired ? I carn't see it being encrypted. Dont Know about permissions.

Thanks in advance. Paul

 

What is the $0F folder in FileHistory?

I just started using FileHistory in Windows 10. The first folder under the Data folder is named $0F. It is 59.2 GB. Every folder in the $0F folder seems to only have one or two entries to files saved elsewhere. These 5,922 folders are listed sequentially
with 28,284 files dated from the year 2013 to 2019.

Can I delete the $0F folder? The $0F folder is not listed as a folder to be backed.

If so, how do I prevent it from being created again?

Thanks, Rob
