Backup Exclusions don't show using Alternate Browsers
Hi,
OS 6.4.1
I have a problem. I set an Rsync Backup job and set an Exclusion. The pop up Browse Windows don't work with any Browser, Chrome, Firefox, IE11). Regardless, I Typed in the folder name = Test and applied. I ran the job and it seemed to work and the contents of the "Test" folder were excluded.
Problem: How does one remove the exclusion? I logged back into Frontview and checked the Backup job. The "Test" exclusion doesn't show and states there are no exclusions. I checked using 2 PC's and 3 Browsers on all...............nothing. No exclusions show.
I went back to the PC and Chrome Browser where I set the Exclusion and sure enough the folder called "TEST" shows as typed as an exclusion. It doesn;t show is a list or anything.
What am I missing here. It would be a problem if the only Browser that can see any exclusion is the original one that it was entered from. Suggestions welcome please.

One can close off this post as "Resolved" I have worked out the issue.
My issue was self inflicted. I discovered, that the "Test" folder I was looking at on the USB_hdd_1 was a standalone folder I created for a different job. The Main Rsyn Job wasn't even looking at it hence the reason nothing was changing (oops).
I have since being informed by Netgear Support that the "Pop Up" window in Backup/Advanced doesn't work. Its not a deal breaker as long as one knows how to Exclude a Folder. This is easy enough by just Typing the name of the Folder OR Path to Folder and adding.
CACHE: Is definately a concern with OS6 and often a full "Page Refesh" is required to clear what showed last time around. It's one reason I sometimes hate "Web Style" interfaces. They can be dangerous if one forgets. This however had no bearing on my "non existant" issue!

Did you read original Post?. I tested using 3 Browsers and also on 2 different PC's! How can clearing Browser Cache assist.?
PS: I refuse to ever clear my Browser Cache and it being used as an excuse. I like my Browser Cache. One can always Refresh which will do much the same.
To be certain: I work around this by using a Different Browser OR different PC 🙂
