NTBackup - What does a red exclamation on a folder point mean?

[stevenr5960]

I am using NTBackup and when I open the backup using the restore option, I
see some folders with a red exclamation point over them. The contents of the
file appear OK, but why is it marking the folders this way?
Thanks in advance for your help...

Are you certain they are OK?

Because something is NOT OK.

Try a test restore (to another location) to see if there is a problem. You
never know whether your backups are good or not unless you test them
periodically.

Did you check the backup logs? You must examine them
regularly! If you don't then you might back up files for months
on end without ever knowing that you can restore them.
