Re: SCR and Replay Queue length

Are you also able to get the file attributes for the seeding directory using attrib?

Hi Scott,

Thanks for getting back to me. I have checked the permissions and
LocalSystem has full control. The partitions are also formatted as NTFS.

The specific error message you are getting internally means that the seeding
directory does not exist. What I don't know is why you would get this error
when the directory does exist. You might check permissions and make sure
that LocalSystem has access.

Also, to confirm, the D and E partitions are formatted as NTFS, correct?
