Gee I figured someone would know something about this.

Re: Why does this keep happing ?
Why do you want to exclude all those folders starting with a dot? They're your configuration files and if you were to do a restore without them it would be the same as doing a fresh install. The .mozilla for example contains all your bookmarks. The .emerald contains all your compiz theme choices. I could go on but do you see the point? You _need_ these configuration files; don't exclude them.

Re: Why does this keep happing ?
Checked or unchecked makes no difference. It just happens that the one I posted I had checked to see if it made any difference. It didn't. The back up just doesn't work, THAT is why I posted to see if any one had any ideas, or similar results. I must be in the minority from what I see in replies.locutus wrote:Why do you want to exclude all those folders starting with a dot?

Re: Why does this keep happing ?
Hmmm. I never tried Mint Backup because it won't backup my root directory or any other partition. I want one backup solution to do ALL my backups and restores. I use PartImage, after having tried many, many others.
