In Windows, does it backup hidden files and folders and files starting with a dot?
I believe by default it does, however in step 3 (Source data) of job editing this can be changed by selecting Hidden files (don’t back those up) and System files, though I believe you’ll have to look at the code to know what those files are…
/// <summary>
/// Creates Windows filters
/// </summary>
/// <returns>Windows filters</returns>
private static string[] CreateWindowsFilters()
{
var filters = new[]
{
DefaultFilters.CreateWildcardFilter(@"*.tmp"),
DefaultFilters.CreateWildcardFilter(@"*.tmp/*"),
DefaultFilters.CreateWildcardFilter(@"*/$RECYCLE.BIN/*"),
DefaultFilters.CreateWildcardFilter(@"*/AppData/Apple Computer/Mobile Sync/*"),
DefaultFilters.CreateWildcardFilter(@"*/AppData/Local/Microsoft/Windows Store/*"),
DefaultFilters.CreateWildcardFilter(@"*/AppData/Local/Packages/*"), // https://superuser.com/questions/490925/explain-windows-8-windows-store-appdata-packages-and-what-to-backup
DefaultFilters.CreateWildcardFilter(@"*/AppData/Local/Temp*"),
DefaultFilters.CreateWildcardFilter(@"*/AppData/Temp*"),
DefaultFilters.CreateWildcardFilter(@"*/Application Data/Apple Computer/Mobile Sync/*"),
DefaultFilters.CreateWildcardFilter(@"*/Application Data/Application Data*"),
DefaultFilters.CreateWildcardFilter(@"*/Google/Chrome/User Data/Default/Cookies"),
DefaultFilters.CreateWildcardFilter(@"*/Google/Chrome/User Data/Default/Cookies-journal"),
