Re: excluding files from backup conduit

[aka.bugle <aka bugle gmail com>]

Ok I've looked in
~/.gnome2/gnome-pilot.d/

I'm not finding a backup-conduit file, is it possible that I don't
have it yet because i haven't yet had a successful backup? or am I
just not looking in the right places?

question…if I have no backup-conduit file, can I create it with the one line

exclude_files=NetLibrary blah blah2\\ moreBlah2 Blah3 Blah4\\ moreBlah4\\ Blah5

is that all that needs to be in the file?

2nd question… How do I list files on palm with a >64k segment?
