Describe the bug My logs always show this warning when backing up: - vorta.borg.borg_thread - WARNING - /Users/jameshenderson/Pictures/Photos Library.photoslibrary: scandir: [Errno 1] Operation not permitted: '/Users/jameshenderson/Pictures/Photos Library.photoslibrary'

To Reproduce Every scheduled backup (I am trialling 3 destinations and it is on all of them)

Desktop (please complete the following information):

Probably due to macOS sandboxing. You'd have to enable full disk access to allow it to read all the files. Else a few folders like contacts or calendar files will be skipped.

Hello!

On MacOS 10.15.7 there is no longer a way to manually add a program in the full disk access preferences -- Apple took away the + button. Setting up Vorta (via Homebrew) 0.7.3 I added several folders from my home folder. Documents and others work fine, and the Pictures folder works, but the actual "Photos Library.photoslibrary" cannot be read (I assume, as it is 0 bytes when I mount and browse the backup and the size is clearly missing my large photo library.

Any tips?

Thank you!

Apple took away the + button.

No. Still there in latest stable.

Argh! Sorry. I confused myself (the hour here was too late to be piling on bug reports). I was able to grant Vorta full disk access and that solved the problem. My confusion (no excuse) was that I also was poking around the 'Photos' privacy setting which unfortunately does not have the add button, forcing us to use the full disk access option.

That is of course a MacOS issue, not Vorta. Thank you! Vorta is lovely.
