If you are using an automated backup tool, you must exclude the attempted backup of:

C:\ProgramData\Metron\Work

The reason why the Control Center Work area should not be backed up using an automatic tool, is that the contents are extremely dynamic, with files being created, deleted and moved many times per second. Typically, an automatic backup tool will carry out a directory listing to determine the contents of a directory, then it will set up commands to copy the files it finds in there. However, within the Control Center Work Area, files could easily be deleted by Syncsort™ Capacity Management in the time between the directory listing and the attempt to back up the con­tents.

This can lead to error messages from an automated backup tool, for example “the object is corrupted and unreadable”.
