Cobian Reflector • "The file or directory is not a reparse point"

The error that I get seems wrong.

In Reflector Settings > Engine, I have these two options selected (ticked):
  • Ignore reparse points in directories
  • Copy symbolic links
Nonetheless, I get errors like this in my Log:
  • ERR 2023-08-05 20:26:40 An error occurred while copying "C:\bin\7z.exe" to "\\...\reflector\current\bin\7z.exe": The file or directory is not a reparse point
  • ERR 2023-08-05 20:26:40 An error occurred while copying "C:\bin\autoruns.exe" to "\\...\reflector\current\bin\autoruns.exe": The file or directory is not a reparse point
  • ERR 2023-08-05 20:26:40 An error occurred while copying "C:\bin\Contig.exe" to "\\...\reflector\current\bin\Contig.exe": The file or directory is not a reparse point


Meanwhile, these problematic files are symlinks:

Code:

c:\bin>dir /x *.exe Volume in drive C has no label. Volume Serial Number is 6468-B2A2 Directory of c:\bin2019-01-31  09:25    <SYMLINK>                   7z.exe [c:\Program Files\7-Zip\7z.exe]2021-10-30  11:23    <SYMLINK>                   autoruns.exe [autorunsc64.exe]2020-08-15  08:50    <SYMLINK>                   Contig.exe [Contig64.exe]
Is this expected, or should Reflector copy these symbolic links as symbolic links?

Perhaps since the backup task Destination is a network folder, "\\...", this functionality does not (can't) work as expected?

Thanks!
