we use Windows Briefcase for taking back up of our data periodically, but in some of the cases files/folders in Briefcase are getting Orphaned automatically. so file/folder looses complete refernce to its original referenced file/folder, due to which we are unable to update files/folders in Briefcase. Kindly let us know if how can we solve this problem? or due to which reasons this might be happening.. alternate suggestions are welcome! Thank you in advance.

1. Which medium do you use for backup? 2. Have you tested lowering UAC? 3. Does this happen in clean boot? Regards Milos
