Deselecting folders in file backup settings doesn't work

Thread needs solution

I've created a file backup and want to backup a subset of my folder hierarchy. The probelm that Im finding is that I can successfully navigate to a folder and deselect the associated checkbox but when I save and run the backup I find that the deselected folder is included. When I recheck my settings I find that the folder is checked which it shouldnt be. If I then uncheck, save and then review my settings again I find that it is checked once again.

Ive even tried creating a new backup task and deselected the folders from the start but still find that deselcted folders get included in the backup.

This is all very basic stuff really, but cant see how I can be doing anything wrong. Please advise.

It's a bug and it will be fixed in the next update of True Image. There is no workaround - you need to recreate the task and select the only the folders you need from the beginning - checking parent folder and unchecking the children will lead to tis bug again.

We MVPs have not heard an official release date. We expect it fairly soon, but have no word.
