Windows11 Bareos-fd Restore "Unhandle Type : 6" Error

[jaemin cha]

Hi 

I am trying to 'Backup and Restore All Windows Drivers'.

When I restore, I get an error log.

-----

Error: findlib\create_file.cc:430 unhandled type:6

--------

The location where it occurs is

':/Windows/System32/config/systemprofile/AppData/Local/Microsoft/WindowsApps/'

It also occurs in the 'Users' subpath.

After investigating 'Unhandle Type 6'

I guess it is

'execute alias file for windows'

ref. https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/what-are-app-execution-aliases-exactly/0340ec0f-80fd-47ec-bec2-bcca06b60455

supported by Windows.

The problem is that the file is not recovered.

I am confused, but I would like some advice or hints.

Documents or links that discuss or mention the issue are also good. However, I have also searched hard.

(Please excuse my shortcomings as this is my first question.)

Thank you.

Hi,

If it is an alias to a file and not the file itself, you should find the locaton of the file and recover the file in its true location - and not the alias. 

Hoping this helps.

Regards,
