    OS: All platforms
  2. Problem Description:
    3. When performing a file backup, the following warning message is received in the backup report:
    Backup Logs
     No.  Type  Timestamp  Backup Logs
    1 Info YYYY/MM/DD hh:mm Start [ All platforms (Test), ServosityPro 5.x.x.x ]
    2 Info YYYY/MM/DD hh:mm Start running pre-commands
    3 ...  ...  ...
    *  Warn YYYY/MM/DD hh:mm Path "Directory_Path\Directory" does not exist!

    However, the directory path in concern has been removed from the backup source already.
  3. Cause:
    4. The message suggests that the mentioned path is still being selected as part of the backup source. This warning message can also be flagged if a backup filter is still being set to be applied on the mentioned directory path.
  4. Resolution:
    5. To resolve the issue, please ensure that the corresponding directory path is removed from the backup source of the affected backup set. Please also verify if there is any filter that may be applied to the directory path in concern.
