File backup status is "ok" but it contains no files (0 bytes)

Hi there,

after resolving the prefilebackup script issue unfortunately I ran into another problem.

I’m trying to do a full file backup of my Windows 10 machine. The image-Backup runs fine. The filebackup however spends some time indexing and then abruptly finishes (100%, status ok) with no files being transferred to the backup server.

Any help would be highly appreciated

Following are the client logs:

Seems that I found a solution to the problem myself. (And maybe a client-bug?):

During installation I selected the second file-backup option from the dialog, which would include all Windows users folders. That resulted in the preferences include-setting to contain the default string C:\Users\:\Documents\*;C:\Users\:\Pictures\*;C:\Users\:\Music\*;C:\Users\:\Videos\*;C:\Users\:\Desktop\*. I then also added custom paths on another harddisk via the clients status tray icon context menu (i.e. D:\Work).

This obviously led to the 0 byte backup, because after I removed the default string from the preferences the file backup actually stored the configured files from the second drive.

I’m not sure if this is the intended behavior.
Hope this helps.
