That left me wondering what other system files, etc., it's reasonable to exclude from my backups?

One of the fixed, built-in, exclusion filters is the [i]VM filter[/i]. When QRecall starts a capture, it examines the arguments passed to the dynamic_pager process. If a specific directory was specified, it excludes that directory from the capture. If it can't determine which directory the dynamic_pager process is using (or it can't find a dynamic_pager process), it excludes the contents of the /var/vm directory.

You can manually specify the location of the swap files by setting the [b]QRVMSwapStorePath[/b] advanced settings to the path of your swap files. See the [url=http://forums.qrecall.com/posts/list/66.page]Advanced Settings[/url] page for the details. If you've set this property, and you're swap files are not being excluded, then consider changing it or deleting the setting and see if QRecall can determine the location itself.

If everything seems in order and QRecall isn't excluding the contents of your VM swap directory, I'd very much like to know about that.

Finally, when adding excluded items to a capture action, holding down one or both of these keys will modify the behavior of the [b]+[/b] button:
[b]Option[/b] allows you to exclude invisible items
[b]Shift[/b] allows you to exclude items inside packages]]> https://forums.qrecall.com/posts/preList/451/2129.page https://forums.qrecall.com/posts/preList/451/2129.page GMT
