Selector again

[fjean]

I maybe stupid but I don't understand how selector works.

 

Here is the selector I create

 

Include everything

but always exclude file matching

name of folders end with _nbkp, selecting all enclosed items

 

 

Here are an example of the folders that I take in backup:

 

c:\users

c:\users\output_nbkp

c:\users\sandboxes

c:\users\sandboxes\maintrunk

c:\users\sandboxes\maintrunk\output_nbkp

c:\users\sandboxes\maintrunk\output_nbkp\win32

c:\users\sandboxes\maintrunk\output_nbkp\win32\Debug

c:\users\sandboxes\maintrunk\output_nbkp\win32\Debug\bin

 

etc...

 

The folders c:\user\output_nbkp is not on the backup ! Excellent, that's what I want.

But Why c:\users\sandboxes\maintrunk\output_nbkp and a lot of what is under it is on the backup ?

 

And why

c:\sandboxes\maintrunk\output_nbkp\win32\Debug\bin\xerces-c_2_7.dll is on the backup

et

c:\sandboxes\maintrunk\output_nbkp\win32\Debug\bin\xerces-c_2_7D.dll is not on the backup

 

 

 

Help someone !!

 

thanks

well this is the way i do it.

 

create your selector

 

go to windows fat/ntfs section and select path.

 

than paste in the path

 

c:\users

 

make sure the folder box is ticked and not the file one, and tick include enclosed folders.

 

 

then just keep creating conditions for all these folders. like so:

 

 

if you think your main drive letter might change in the future (i know mine has often enough), the just leave out the C:\ at the start. so select path again, and you could type:

 

-------------------------------------------

users

users\output_nbkp

users\sandboxes

users\sandboxes\maintrunk

users\sandboxes\maintrunk\output_nbkp

users\sandboxes\maintrunk\output_nbkp\win32

users\sandboxes\maintrunk\output_nbkp\win32\Debug

users\sandboxes\maintrunk\output_nbkp\win32\Debug\bin

-------------------------------------------

 

as the path. this will still work, and this is what i do.

 

remember these would all have to be different conditions within the same selector.

 

herer is one of mine. i have deleted my name, which is at the start of the path. i have a folder that contains all my stuff that is named after me, but please not that there is no backslash before my name. maybe it would work with a backslash before the first folder, but i don't know.

 

 

Hope this helps
