    "Directory was not backed up because it is a reparse point:" errors using Windows File History


    I keep getting the "Directory was not backed up because it is a reparse point:" error from Windows File History and it stops backing up. I originally set it up about 2 weeks ago and it ran fine for several days. Then I noticed it stopped backing anything up. When I checked the error log, I saw the above error for every folder it tried to back up. Eventually I deleted the files from the Config directory one online suggestion, renamed the file history folder on my backup drive, turned off file history, and started it up from scratch. It worked for about 2 days and now I'm getting the same err
