Retrospect 6.x question?

[JeffNY]

I have Retrospect 6.1.230 is this where I post questions for that? I see a forum for "Retrospect 8" and "Retrospect 5 and older".....but none for Retrospect 6.....hummm....maybe the moderator could label the forums better?

 

Well, here is my question.....every time I do a backup I get the errors below from Retrospect for these Palm files. Is it because the file names include odd characters?

 

Thanks

Jeff

Yes.

You aren't the first to make that suggestion...

Could be. You might want to add a Selector exclusion rule to exclude files where the path name starts with (or perhaps contains)

"Disk 2 (OS X)/Applications/Palm/Holiday Files/"

 

You will have to do a bit of futzing around with the selector, compare other selector rules. I seem to remember that there is something odd about "path name starts with" and path names, whether you have to have the trailing "/" and whether you have to have the leading "/", especially with mounted volumes.
