Since upgrade to 6.0 one of my scheduled backups stops with a warning; "There are at least two sources with the same file/folder name. This may cause some files to be overwritten. Do you want to continue?" with a Yes/No prompt. This is a nightly backup at 4:00 AM so I'm not there to answer the prompt.
My questions are
1. What exactly is it trying to warn me about?
2. Can I override the prompt this needs to run on the schedule.
Duplicate source files

Re: Duplicate source files
Hi,
You probably unchecked the "Create full paths" option from Backup Properties->Mirror.
Please select that option and press Save.
Do you still have the problem?

Re: Duplicate source files
Yes the "create full paths" option is unchecked, but it was unchecked before this problem started and I have a second job that runs overnight as well that also has it unchecked and it still runs without issues.

Re: Duplicate source files
Hi,
If you have sources from two drives and that option is unchecked, the message prompt is displayed.

Re: Duplicate source files
The source files are all from the same drive.

Re: Duplicate source files
Hi,
In the backup catalog you sent us there are two source drives: C and D. Even if D drive has no files selected, the condition is to have a single source drive in that page if you want to avoid displaying the message.

Re: Duplicate source files
I removed the unselected 2nd drive from the backup and it runs without the prompt. Thanks
