kerryd Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 I've noticed that the method of ticking or unticking a file to choose it in a backup is a bit odd. It seems that if the top level folder is ticked, say my user folder, you can't untick an item located in anything below it. As an example, I have documents ticked as I want to back up all my documents except my Parallels file due to its size. Having the top level folder documents ticked won't allow me to untick the Parallels file. It seems you have to untick the top level folder documents and then go through all the files and tick what you want backed up leaving Parallels out. To get around this, as it seems like a lot of work I just created a rule to exclude Parallels. However, the ticking option seems so logical just not in the way it seems you have to use it. Am I missing something. Have what I found the way it works. If so, does it make sense to tick things in the fashion I've found or just utilize a rule.

CallMeDave Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 Why are you re-posting this again? http://forums.dantz.com/showpost.php?post/131651/ It's a bug that's been reported before. Mac OS should not behave that way, and hopefully Retrospect will be fixed in short order. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kerryd Posted November 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 Ah sorry I don't remember even having posted this. Early Alzheimers. I just joined the forum and have started using v8. So I'm in the process of creating my second series of backup sets and I ran across this again and I guess I didn't remember having asked the question from the first post. Anyway, glad to know its just a bug as it did strike as very odd the way it was working. You can actually see it working this way in one of the videos so it didn't dawn on me it was a bug.

kerryd Posted December 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 CallmeDave - when you say this is a known bug I'm guessing you mean to the Retrospect people. I wonder if they will do an update to fix this problem. Its just more annoying than anything. Thanks Kerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
