Here is what I am up against.
You will note the "junction" points. They should not be backed up.
But they are an being creasted as simple directories.
C:\Users\accounting\Documents>dir /a | grep -i junction
09/14/2020 07:39 AM <JUNCTION> My Music [C:\Users\accounting\Music]
09/14/2020 07:39 AM <JUNCTION> My Pictures
[C:\Users\accounting\Pictures]
09/14/2020 07:39 AM <JUNCTION> My Videos
[C:\Users\accounting\Videos]
This is the backup directory after a Windows Explorter erase.
Both DirectoryExists ($DirPath".IO.d.Bool" and Windows
Explorer with Hidden file turned on says it does not exist.
You will note that the command line says it does indeed exist.
And it does.
F:\MyDocsBackup\backup3\Documents 2023-08-15 16;28;47 (Full)>dir /a
Volume in drive F is BACKUP
Volume Serial Number is 0866-7D92
