KingMongo Posted May 16, 2002 Report Share Posted May 16, 2002 I'm trying to exclude a file which Retrospect continually gacks on--it's about 3.5GB in size. I can't seem to do it. I've tried excluding the path, the containing folder, pattens with the filename, file names containing the file name, files of that size, etc, etc, etc. Is there some different behavior when doing an Immediate Backup, as opposed to a Scripted Backup? I'm using the exact same selector, and have been testing its efficacy by using the Immediate Backup's Preview function, I just can't get that *E*U#(U file to *not* be marked during the preview!!

RandyB Posted May 16, 2002 Report Share Posted May 16, 2002 The most common problem I've seen with selectors is the confusion caused by the LeftPane. This is where you chose between General ("Name") and Window ("path") before you actually enter the file name to exclude in the RightPane. General allows you to use a Windows/dos naming convention but doesn't necessarily work as expected. Windows/Path allows you to follow Windows naming conventions. There are other, earlier threads discussing this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingMongo Posted May 16, 2002 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2002 Ah, I see; thanks for the info! It actually makes sense, now that I think about it, that standard windows/dos naming conventions would note be included in the definition of Universal on an application developed for the Mac.
