Hello,
Had a few backup jobs running over the weekend from the same Server 2016 machine. All of them incremental file backups. The first six jobs/retries ended early with this or similar:

Error while getting files in folder "\\?\GLOBALROOT\Device\HarddiskVolumeShadowCopy5\Profiler\PeterG.V6\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\rsftfmm7.default\storage\default\https+++www.youtube.com\idb\1131144353LCo7g%sCD7a%tda2bdads.files". Windows errorcode: 87. Access to root directory is gone too. Shadow copy was probably deleted while indexing.

The last job managed to end but with issues, the log gave 25 of these errors for different files in the same firefox profile directory of a single user:

Error getting complete file "1BwqRFofRk1lurv1eXp4|D/Profiler/PeterG.V6/AppData/Roaming/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles/rsftfmm7.default/storage/default/https+++www.youtube.com^partitionKey=%28https%2Cgoogle.com%29/idb/2805597024LCo7g%sCD7a%tfadbca1s.files" from Radio1. Errorcode: CANNOT_OPEN_FILE (3)
Looking at the parent folder, in this case D:\Profiler\PeterG.V6\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\rsftfmm7.default\storage\default\https+++www.youtube.com^partitionKey=%28https%2Cgoogle.com%29\idb, it is indeed missing the mentioned file and the last modified date is 08-03-2024. This seems to be the case for all of the parent directories referenced.
vssadmin list shadows shows no stray copies left behind, vssadmin list shadowstorage shows 0 bytes is used for the volume in question.
Tried restarting the urbackup services on the client and server, then running a new incremental file backup, again it failed referencing a folder that does not exist, with a parent folder that was last modified three days ago.
Any ideas why this might be, and how to solve?
Best regards
Alexander
