makemkv skips files in complete backup

Post by TheShoe » Thu Sep 26, 2019 7:47 pm

I've noticed that Makemkv reports files sometimes as "skipped" when doing a complete backup.

For example, it skipped a PDF file backing up Weird Science which was the movie script.

It skips zip files, XML files in some cases.

that would mean it's not a complete backup.

why does it do this?

Only the dev 'mike admin' could say for certain. You might try an email to support@makemkv.com ?

Bumping this in case anyone learned the answer in the last five years. I sent an email to support in the hopes Mike would answer, but haven't heard back.

I'm also wondering, does changing the default track selection have any impact on backups? Just a thought. It seems like .zips, .pdf, etc are skipped. I don't see any flags mentioned in the forums to include those file types in default track selections.
