| Me thinks another serious contender for bundled with AmigaOS.

| Another "must have" program. I look forward to installing this. Currently I just copy the entire contents of my hard drive into a backup folder.

And where can I configure the blacklisted drawers? I.e. my AmiUpdate configuration has no "Rollback" drawer, because I don't want to store CopyStore/Rollback stuff into my SYS:System drawer - so it is configured to another place.

* NEW: Added a Restore folder blacklist, so when Restoring it automatically unticks files inside blacklisted folders.
This was needed for AmigaOS4.1 Update 6, to prevent users accidentally restoring AmiUpdate's Rollback folder (which is now stored on SYS:). |
The Updates prefs program lets the user change the rollback directory to be anywhere, and I'd advise everybody to find a better place for it than on SYS: - whether you use AmiSystemRetore or not.
Best regards,

Please note that AmiSystemRestore is *not* an alternative to backing-up your OS4 partition, as it can't protect against the OS4 partition being corrupted or formatted (nor your harddrive dying).
And for the Beta versions of AmiSystemRestore, I do specifically recommend having a backup of your OS4 partition anyway, just in case it does screw-up your OS in some fashion. (Hopefully unlikely, but do you really want to risk it?)

As it currently stands, you CAN'T configure the blacklisted folders. This feature was added at the very last minute (due to Update 6's release), and I didn't have time to heavily test any configuration GUI, so I simply didn't add it.
Most likely I will add a configuration GUI to the next release.
You do NOT need to worry, unless you stored the "Rollback" folder somewhere else on SYS:. i.e. If you put it on a different partition, then there is nothing to worry about.

No hurry - I can wait until it will be configurable one day. And, yes, indeed I have my AmiUpdate-Rollback drawer on a different partition since ages.
