Thanks for the reminder - I had not looked at the rules that came with Retrosepect 9 for a while.
But, these packaged rules are not what I am looking for. Based on my observations, Retrospect has an internal list of files it excludes from all backups, regardless of any rules applied to the backup by the script.
As an example, nowhere in the rules is there found the above mentioned exclusion for Lion's "Saved Application State" folders.
Apparent internal exclusions - observed for the root folder of a Snow Leopard volume:
.Spotlight-V100
.fseventsd
.hotfiles.btree
dev
home
net
Volumes - content excluded
private/tmp - content excluded
So, I am looking for the "complete" list of exclusions built into Retrospect 9. This would include those new for Lion, and also for Leopard, Tiger, UNIX, Windows.
