Claims 884 GB of files on a 220GB drive while backing up (Windows)

I see the following status while backing up first time (local client/local server) and it seems stuck now.

What is urbackup showing when hitting Show log?

It looks like it is also backing up the destination drive (D:) into itself.

Thanks for the log tip, it looks like it included my external drives (D: and E:) in my files backup. Perhaps a bug?

No, perhaps you misconfigured the backup settings.

Please share the exact values of the backup dir settings.

I simply clicked the default values. “all files except program files and caches” and “system drive” enabled.
When I checked add/remove backup paths, D: and E: was included there

Ok, should work now?

Yes it moved on to image backup now. It is very strange that it selected external drives by default.
