Adding directories to skip (exclusion list)

[RobGreen]

I am using the Maxtor onetouch retrospect 6.0.222. I want to add directory exclusions lists such as "c:\documents and settings\rob\local settings\temporary internet files" or better yet "%SystemDrive%:\documents and settings\*\local settings\temporary internet files", as well as some common ones such as "c:\windows\temp", "c:\temp". I am tired of having over 100,000 files backed up every week, and 99,991 of them being me browsing the internet.

This certainly isn't the best answer to your problem, but I make a point of deleting all my temp internet files before doing a backup.

When you run Backup, you have the option Preview. A scan is made of your drive, after which you can uncheck particular files\folders you want to exclude.
