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.
