Failed to read the symlink: readlink

Support
#1

Running 2.1.0 on Windows 10.

This is the error I’m seeing in my logs:

Failed to read the symlink: readlink C:\Users\username\junctionname: Access is denied

Is there a way to allow access for duplicacy to the symlinks/junctions?

I’ll note I have as my last pattern:
-*/
does that not apply to symlinks/junctions? I would have thought it would block the unwanted ones.

#2

edit: I should note:
I do want to block many of these symlink/junctions

so my question after: how do I allow access to the symlinks?, is how do I block them with a pattern?

#3

The current behavior is to read the symlink first and then apply the exclude/include patterns. There is a github issue for this: https://github.com/gilbertchen/duplicacy/issues/376
