Backup options/Filter - Froggie - 01-28-2025
It is clearly unclear
from your documentation what it means when doing an IMAGING operation AND you have checked (by DEFAULT) the options "Exclude system files/folders" and "Exclude hidden files/folders." Clearly those functions cannot be happening when doing a System image as the restoration of those images would fail miserably.Can you explain what these options actually mean when doing images, and if nothing, are they only "active" when doing a File'n'Folder type of backup. Maybe an update to the on-line documentation, or at least my understanding of such, would help a bit
RE: Backup options/Filter - al3x - 01-28-2025
Those two options are not meant as global options but as a flag selector for the current folder/path/file filter to add.
Example:
- You want to add a new folder c:\mytemp by selecting Filter Type "Folder path" and selecting the folder in "Folder path".
- Now you can select those two options to further(?)* exclude system files or hidden files for the selected path.
- When you hit "add" those two options are represented by the Flags, so for example "SHR" means everything was ticked.
*But still, this doesn't explain what those two flags actually mean for Filter type "Folder path", "Folder path + File name" and "File name". Would love an explanation for this, too

These two options are not global options, they only work for each filter you add, for example if you add a filter to exclude the C:\Test folder, Hasleo Backup Suite will exclude all files in C:\Test if you check both options, otherwise HBS will only exclude non-system files and non-hidden files in C:\Test.
