Cause

This issue occurs in the following scenario.

1. /folder is mounted to /dev/sdb1.
2. /folder/subfolder is mounted to /dev/sdb2
3. Backup /folder/subfolder to /backup. "folder_subfolder_000.v2i" is created.
4. Backup /folder/ to /backup. Not "folder_000.v2i" but "folder_001.v2i" is created.


When "folder_subfolder_000.v2i" already exists in /backup, "folder_000.v2i" is not created but "folder_001.v2i" is created.

WORKAROUND:
Please backup /folder/ to /backup1 and backup /folder/subfolder to /backup2.
