Ignoring dirs containing string
Hi,
I tried to edit the Backup - all files.dset to ignore directories that have the string "dont_backup_me" appended to their name. (eg. "/Users/me/Music/TempMusic_dont_backup_me" or "/Store_dont_backup_me"). I edited the Copy script and added an "ignore" command under the "Script Commands" tab. Item Specification is "*dont_backup_me*". I also made sure that this is the first line in the "Script Commands" tab. Superduper! didn't ignore those dirs and bloated the backup image. Did I missed something? The backup image is located on an encrypted samba share - but I think that this is not related to my problem. Thanks much Stefan |
Hm. We use standard Unix globbing to expand the regular expression, and that should, indeed, work...
|
Should I file an bug report then?

I verified that it worked at this end, Nicolinux. I'd need to try to reproduce your exact problem, so you can feel free to send me your script and I'll take a look.

I tried it again too. It doesent work for me :(
I created a disk image with the following contents: Code:
ABCDE Therefore I created a custom copy script, included the "Backup - all files.dset" and added an entry "ignore - *dont_backup_me*" This should take care of it, but it doesent. The destination diskimage after the backup contains every single directory with it's contents. Here is my custom script: Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> Stefan |
With those folders, in Terminal, what does:
ls *dont_backup_me* match? |
The following:
Code:
XXXY_dont_backup_me: Thanks, Stefan |
I've tested this again here. I used a source image with the following folders at the top:
Code:
backup_me I did a Smart Update. When I was done, only "backup_me" was present on the destination. It seems to be working fine... |
