We are backing up DFS data from DFS central server.
A total of 37 folders are being replicated to this server. There are few folders with same name (from different branch servers). Hence, folders with same name are backed up using folder name followed by GUID like below.
Shadow Copy Components:\User Data\Distributed File System Replication\DfsrReplicatedFolders\Users (824BCE18-25B0-4DF6-991D-0ABD7A5E8B40-89D8562F-2715-4672-952B-D30C17B8D2BF
However, two replicated folders from the same server are not being backedup. It is failing with below errors.

There are few other replicated folders which do exist in the drive as this one. However, we are still not able to find the corresponding folder for the first error.
What could be the possible issue?
