WillPittenger,

What file types are being detected as changing? I would like to get an idea of the category these files fall under. 

Thanks,

Mike

Is there a way to retrieve the list of files backed up in the last backup after the window has been closed?

Hi WillPittenger,

To retrieve the files, from the backup pillar (in the main UI), click  "Restore Files". This will list all the backup sets that are present in your computer along with the a time stamp. Based on this, you can choose a backup set and check the files that were backed up.  

We also maintain a log of the list of files that were backed up. This can be viewed from Tasks->Security History. Under this, choose "Backup" option from the drop-down list. This will give you the details of the backup activity that had run so far (along with the destination (drive/location) details).

Thanks,

Padma

Looks like most of the backups were from the Application Settings folder for my profile.  Either Mozilla or Norton 360.

WillPittenger,

That area changes frequently. It is normally an area that we exclude for you. Did you happen to add a custom rule that specifically includes that area?

Yes.  I like having my settings preserved.  Some apps have a problem with restoring settings on top of a fresh install, but others, like Mozilla apps, take it in stride.

WillPittenger,

That is most likely the cause for backup always having files to backup. If you look in the security history page you can see a list of your run backup set's which will show you which files they did backup.

I double checked the settings.  The ONLY folderings inside Application Settings set to be backed up were Mozilla apps.  I don't see how the Norton files get included.
