The unavoidable things are shown in the preference panel. The issue is not that there is a second file of user editable exclusions, the issue is that these exclusions include something that Backblaze felt was not needed (your browser profile), when for many of us the browser profile needs to be backed up. In particular, a lot of settings get saved in a JavaScript file which is not backed up. --- Entertaining minecraft videos http://YouTube.com/keybounce _______________________________________________ MacOSX-talk mailing list [email protected] http://www.omnigroup.com/mailman/listinfo/macosx-talk
