Excluding more than I ask for


Recommended Posts

I have a pwrchute.dat file that I wish to exclude from backups so as not to generate an error as the file is open.

 

 

 

Server:

 

Retrospect Server 5.6.123

 

Windows 2000 Server SP2

 

NTFS

 

 

 

Client:

 

Windows NT 4.0 Server SP6a

 

NTFS

 

 

 

I set the exclusion to be:

 

 

 

Windows (FAT/NTFS) -> Path -> File does match pwrchute.dat

 

 

 

When I check this selector against the volume on the client it excludes the "C:\Program Files\Pwrchute\pwrchute.dat" file as desired, however the undesired effect of "C:\Program Files\MarkVis" and subdirectory "C:\Program Files\MarkVis\WinNT" are excluded as well. Neither of these folders have files, and I checked for hidden files, so I do not see how my indended exclusion of the file "pwrchute.dat" would affect the MarkVis directory tree.
