A few months ago my HD failed and I restored from Vista backups I made, only to discover that certain files were not being backed up. Specifically, .JS files that I use for my web sites. I can see all my folders and sub folders, but the scripts subfolder was empty of my javascript files. For everyweb site I created the scripts folder was empty.

So I purchased Acronis TIH 2010 last month. Now I am finding out that the same thing is happening.

I can set up a file backup of one folder, let's say website1. Under /website1 I have several .HTM files and sub folders such as ./images and ./scripts and ./css

However the restore only shows /website1 with the .HTM files and only one subfolder ./images with all of the images. The ./scripts and ./css subfolders are missing?

Is there an inclusionary setting I need to configure somewhere?

Hi Paul,

You can look in the ATI exclusions settings under the default options to see if by chance these file types are being excluded, but (at least in ATI2009 which I use) they aren't. That is weird that even the scripts and css folder names didn't get saved in the backup.

Possibly related to your issue: XP by default prevents search results showing up when trying to search for ASP files and a couple of other server related file types. I had to edit my registry to get XP to treat these files like any other file type so that I could get them to show up in my search results when, for example, searching for a particular variable name within some of my ASP files. I wonder if you need to make a similar registry change in Vista so that the OS doesn't treat these file types as special file types? I don't use Vista, so this is just a thought for a possible solution.

Maybe check out the info in these links. The first one is especially interesting and should give you a clue as to what may be going on:

Wow the first link you sent was dead on the money. I am fortunate that all of my web sites are live and I can FTP download all of my .JS files to the right folder in my hard drive (my tertiary backup method) but it is still time consuming.
