im backing up a drive that holds my iphoto and itunes libraries.
thats all thats on this disk ... it doesnt have any OS on there.

what reasons are there for not coping over files?
theres no way of telling which ones were excluded either, is there?

cheers

If you look at the log, it should -- for the most part -- indicate what files were ignored. Also, if you open the copy script that's being used (I assume it's "Backup - all files"), you can see a full list of all the folders we ignore.

thanks for the superduper fast reply, as always dave!

and sorry for asking such a silly question. yeh ... backup all files, smart update.

i guess the 9 files are accounted for here ...
