Sure, this is a way to deal with it (actually, its what Iam doin'). It's ok when you use BackupFilesOnly method. It means you normaly have control over top level folders. But, Is this bug still there when using an Exclude list (meaning users could add folders, and should be archived)? In that case, it could be pretty annoying. Add to it the context where, you just can't change the toplevel folder, what do you do? IE: Iam trying to introduce Free Softwares on my company (hardly oriented Pro-M$) with utils scaled to the job (web appliances, file servers, and so on). To convince my hierarchy and perhaps change mentalities, should I say: "My backup solution cant handle a tiny little accent" It would ruin any trust to Free Softwares :) and I would be forced to continue to use Over-priced non-free solutions sometimes even worse (IE CA softwares ...). At last, I think a product claming : "BackupPC is a high-performance, enterprise-grade system for backing up Linux and WinXX PCs" Should care about little issues instead of avoiding the problem :) I think BackupPC could easily rival with major Disk Staging Solutions (D2D2T), but should resolve these type of minor problems that scare new-comers to Free Softwares :) Anyway, the goal of this post was to know if people have that bug or not, if it was already solved, to know if I should avoid the problem (by renaming folders) or fix it. Having no explicit opinion, I put light on it ... May be need a fix in future release? _______________________________________________ BackupPC-users mailing list BackupPC-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/
