Does SD evaluate all files, always?
Hi,
I have a question about SD's behaviour, when using a Copy Script which restricts a backup to a small subset of the source hard-drive. I have a backup which uses the following settings: ignore / copy Users ignore Users/dave/Library ignore Users/dave/Movies ignore Users/dave/Music copy Users/dave/Library/Mail copy Users/dave/Library/Mail Downloads My intention here is to limit this particular backup to everything under /Users, and exclude some folders under /Users, such as /Users/dave/Library, while including /Users/dave/Library/Mail (etc.) When this backup runs (as a smart-update), it does what I expect, and the specifications above select only the folders and sub-folders I'm interested in, however... according to the output messages, SD evaluates every single file on my hard-drive, even though my settings are restricted to /Users... for example, about 20,000 files are copied to the target, but 600,000 files are evaluated. This seems like a lot of unnecessary work for my hard-drive... is this how it should work, or am I misunderstanding something? Thanks... |
