files in \RSA\MachineKeys yield error (Win 7)

The behaviour described in the bug report is either by design, or would be far too complex/time-consuming to be changed

files in \RSA\MachineKeys yield error (Win 7)

Post by *twolips »

Hi, I am regularly syncing my disks to external USB disk for backup.
Typically do care about user data, less so about system/program data -
nevertheless just sync the root directory, in order not to miss any license files or config files in some strange locations.

Before Win7 I could typically chose 'skip all' to skip for example pagefile, hibernation file etc.
Since Win7, when syncing with 'as admin' choice (to also copy all user dirs), I receive 'Access denied to target directory' for the files in \ProgramData\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA\MachineKeys\
Since this is more than 150 files, pressing 'skip' individually is cumbersome.
But there is no 'skip all' choice.

Am I missing something ? What needs to be true to be able to copy those files, or skip them ?

Thanks a lot for the help.
Regards

Currently there is indeed no "skip all", sorry. I will add it to my wish list.
