Backup of hidden directories

Backup of hidden directories

os 6.9.3

 

While fiddling with backups involving the other issue, I noticed different behaviour with hidden directories on Linux sources.

The PVR has a Movies dir, which has a subdir ".Trash".

With the Frontview FTP based backup the .Trash folder is copied.

With the Frontview SMB based backup it wasn't.

If I view the dir with Windows Explorer (with view hidden files enabled) I see the .Trash folder, thus the PVR is not blocking access.

For SMB "backups" you would expect all files to be backed up.

I think it should, with perhaps an added option to selectively disable, applicable to FTP backups too.

 

I haven't tried hidden files, if they are not backed up that is a major problem IMO.
