Backup Exclude List stopped allowing me to add new folders
I have developed a problem with the exclude list for one of my backup jobs. There are currently 89 entries in the list, and when I add another, it doesn't take effect. After alot of playing around, I noticed that if I delete an existing entry, the newly added entry begins to work properly. Then, when I add the deleted entry back to the end of list, it is ignored. I'm wondering if there is a limit to the size of the exclude list, or do I have corruption in the list?
Thanks in advance

It sounds like there is a limit to the size of the list. Hopefully Marc_V or JohnCM_S will confirm.
But you could test it (tediously) by creating a new backup job, and re-entering the list from scratch.
Actually I did just that, I created a new backup job and found that there is exactly 87 entries allowed in the exclude list! If you add number 87 it is ignored. It is a strange number, but that is what I found. I would consider this solved, unless anyone has a workaround or comment.
Thanks
