You can specify certain files to always be patched, regardless of whether they have been modified. This is particularly useful for backing up databases. Open the a5backup.properties file, set
 
always.process.paths
 
to "True", and add a list of file/folder paths separated by commas.
 
Note:
  • The paths must always be in quotation marks.
  • Colon (:) and backslash (\) characters must always be escaped with a backslash (\).
For example:
 
always.process.paths="C\:\\data\\myfolder\\","C\:\\otherdata\\otherfolder\\",
"C\:\\moredata\\myfolder\\myfile.txt"

 

The wildcard can also be used for file extensions, e.g.:

always.process.wildcard=*.txt,*.mdb,*.dat
