ShadeTek 0 Report post Posted August 15, 2018 What would be good for me is an option to exclude certain named files and or folders from EVERY backup job that I create. This would save me having to exclude these files and folder being filtered out every time I make a script. Anyone else think this could be of use? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DavidHertzberg 67 Report post Posted August 22, 2018 Shade Tek, Why not simply create a custom Selector to exclude those named files and folders, and then specify that Selector in every Backup script you create? Selectors are described on pages 508-529 of the Retrospect Windows 8 User's Guide, which is the next complete UG after 7.7—which you say you are using.

x509 22 Report post Posted December 11, 2019 Agree. I have a selector named "_Always Exclude." The leading underscore means that this selector will be at top of the Selectors list. This selector contains entries like, "~*.* for MS Office temp files, *.bak, my \temp directory, etc. Works fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
