Re: Can/should (exclude) path masks on Windows use backslashs?
This first syntax is correct.
Before posting, please read how to report bug or request support effectively.
Bug reports without an attached log file are usually useless.
var excludeFileMask = @"|c:\Backup-ToExternal\Full";
var excludeFileMask = @"|c:/Backup-ToExternal/Full";
var excludeFileMask = @"|/Backup-ToExternal/Full";
