Ignore Recycle Bin Setting In Backup Jobs

I have a feature request for a new setting for Frontview Backups. I'd like to see a checkbox to select for the setup/configuration of each backup job that allows ignoring the recycle bin during the backup. Over the past few days I've been getting email alerts of "backup error" that say "Error . . . due to lack of disk space" (there is over 600GB free on a brand new 1TB USB drive). Upon investigation I see that the backup job was failing on "lock" files (hundreds of them at 0KB each) which were located in the recycle bin.

Thanks,
Garry

    When tagging MP3s with MediaMonkey it always puts the old versions in recycle bin, which then of course get backed up - not necessary
  • I'd like this feature as well. Recycle bin is a last resort, not something to back up... (or at least let us opt-out...)
