Script including everything I want to exclude

[docfxit]

Hi,

 

I have a selector called Skip Files that looks fine when I test it. I have a script that is set up with:

 

Include everything

+

 

but always exclude files matching

+ selected by Skip files

+ or

 

The only files that are being backed up are the files I asked it to exclude. How should I change it to Include everything except the files I set

to exclude?

 

Thank you,

 

Gary

You've got a double negative somewhere in your selector logic. Rather then have a selector inside a selector - use the Skip files selector directly.

Thank you for the answer.

 

How can a person use the selector directly?

 

Thank you,

You named your selector Skip Files - choose this from the drop down box in Selecting for your script. If you don't see a drop down box, click the "Fewer choices" button.
