Hi All,

I have a number of Umbraco websites running on a web server and I have noticed on the last view backups (using Windows NT Backup) that there have been the following errors regarding the "_systemUmbracoIndexDontDelete" folder. Is this normal or is it something that I need to worry about, this is an example of some of the errors:

Warning: Unable to open "C:\Webpub\My website\www\data\_systemUmbracoIndexDontDelete\_6hm.fdt" - skipped. 
Reason: The system cannot find the file specified.

Anyone have any idea about this? It is still happening every now and then with different files. Is it something that I need to be concerned about? Would I be able to restore the website without these files?

I don't think you should be backing up that folder. It is the output of the Lucene.Net indexer so the files in it will change quite frequently as the index is updated, etc.

Thanks Slace, I will either ignore the errors or remove them from the backup.
