Can I Exclude A File/Folder From Cloning?

Since I recently upgraded to Yosemite I have run into a bug that affects 1Password... Copies of 1Password on permanently connected drives befuddle the software as it attempts to open the external copy; prior to Yosemite this was not an issue.

Here is the thread I started on the 1Password forum for those who are interested: https://discussions.agilebits.com/di...omment/231108?

I don't see a way to exclude Applications in SD! Am I missing something or must I manually delete 1Password after every backup (or until Apple fixes the bug...)?

You can eject the drive, and we - on schedule - will mount, copy and re-eject it...automatically.

Well, as I said, eject the backup drive. A scheduled copy will automatically mount the drive, perform the copy to the drive, then eject it again.

Since the drive will therefore not be mounted (it'll be ejected), 1Password won't have a problem.

Great!

I see an SD! setting to eject a volume after a backup. But how does one prevent a single volume (or all volumes) on a connected drive from mounting at startup? And what tells a volume to mount when it's wanted for an SD! backup?

I don't know why I hadn't thought of this earlier because I really don't need one of my external drives mounted except for backups...)

(A link to the info is fine; I haven't found anything except instructions for messing with the system's hidden fstab file, and I'm not sure that I am up for that...)

No doubt there's some way of keeping the drives unmounted with fstab, as you said - but it's not something I've bothered with. (I rarely restart.)

This is great, Dave! I just got the message from 1Password as I was preparing to download its latest update. I found the solution in someone else's thread on the 1Password discussion site. I wanted to check it out though, so I searched the User Guide/Help for more about the Eject option, but I did not find it. Where do I find the documentation?

This is a more elegant solution than having SD! ignore 1Password 6.app, because it will still work when they update to 1Password 7.

I think that option is newer than the guide. But it should be pretty clear.
