How to ignore but preserve certain large files?
Hi there,
I am using a parallels virtual machine. All valuable data is stored over the parallels network on Mac HD, that's fine. But there is a lot of stuff installed on the virtual drive which I don't want to get natively onto the Mac drive, therefore I would like to keep all uninteresting stuff on the virtual disk image. My problem is that Parallels has no read-only mode, so my disk images are changed every time they are mounted. That means several extra GB to be juggled around for every smart backup. Therefore, I would like to take one initial snapshot with SD, but then exclude the snapshot drom SD avtions, because it is such a waste of time. I'm wondering if this is possible. If I do a full backup the first time and then continue with smart backups, telling SD to ignore my Parallels images, would't the target be smart erased and I would loose my backup file, or is it so smart to always ignore certain files, also in the erasure phase? thanks - chris |
