File Backup Exclusions: Can't exclude drives per instructions. Add button is disable with colon after drive letter

Thread needs solution

Doing an exclusion on a file backup, a colon after drive letter disables "Add" button. Yet instructions clearly state : "you can specify exclusions for File Backups". Instructions also state you enter an exclusion criteria with this example: "C:\file.ext - the file.ext file on the C: disk will be excluded."

I want to use the "Category" selection from the tree, and the problem is that without drive exclusions the backup looks for file extensions on ALL drives and partitions. Yet I can't exclude drives/partitions I don't want.

Instructions also say I can do the following: "To exclude a folder, click Browse, select the folder you want to exclude on the directory tree, click OK, and then click Add." I don't see any "Browse" button on the exclusion form.

RayJay,

I'd never tried to exclude via a drive letter before, just file suffixes, so this is the first time I have seen the problem you've reported. I'll alert Acronis, not sure if the user guide is incorrect or this is indeed a bug.

I should add, I used build 6514 to check this.
