Vault does NOT back up subfolders if file extensions are set
Hi,
I'm running the released 6.1.6 on a ReadyNAS 104. Just trying out Vault - is this a feature, a bug, or user stupidity:
If I set up a backup, without changing the default list of file extensions to include (i.e. leave it at "*ALL*"), then the backup processes all files in the top level folder specified, and all subfolders. (This is good and as expected)
BUT if I try to set an include list of file types (e.g. "doc") then it backs up any doc files in the top folder but does NOT recurse into subfolders. (This seems like a big bug!)
Am I missing something, or is this behaviour by design?
