Norton keeps backing up excluded files

Issue abstract:In spite of putting directories on the exclude list, Norton keeps backing them up.

Detailed description: I want to back up 1 and only 1 directory in \Documents. I put c:\user\{name} on the exclude list but it still insists on backing up the \Documents and \Pictures folders. Why? There is another user on this computer and I put c:\user\{name2} on the exclude list and it didn’t back any of their files up. Why is it automatically backing stuff up that I don’t tell it to? I shouldn’t have to put everything on the exclude list, I want to tell it what to back up, not what NOT to back up. How do I stop this from using up my allotted storage with stuff I don’t want?

Prøv at opdatere til 25.8 den retter nogle fejl som folk har med 25.7 nogle folk kan ikke få backup til at virke men efter 25.8 kom så virker det igen

Bonjour,

Pour information, je viens de lancer une sauvegarde locale de certains de mes dossiers et celle-ci, semble fonctionner correctement (Norton 360 version 25.8. 10387).
