PitterPat Posted September 26, 2011 Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 It seems that retrospect spends a lot of time on files that I can't identify. These have curly braces "{}"s in the file name and usually a long string of characters between the braces. Sometimes there are also characters outside of the braces. I think this may be a retrospect bug because a search for these files turns up nothing (and I'm including, hidden and system files in the search). What is this about?

brendon t Posted September 26, 2011 Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 I think the files/folders are there, even if you can't search them. My file manager [ZTW] shows 25 such files in my Windows 7 system, although only 5 of them show in a Windows file search. Most of them are System and Hidden. Of course this doesn't count the files without a GUID name [32 char Hex string in curly brackets] that live in folders with GUID names. You'll find a lot of these folders in \Windows\Installer.
