Thank you Dave, Thank you Jens.
I will ignore the .DS_Store files. I think the Finder will take care of
them. Also I have got the same question on the hidden directory
/.fseventsd
As I know it contains log files created by Time Machine. I have tried to
backup the files it contains but, even running as root, I can't. It seems
that even the root user has no permissions to do that.
So, can I exclude this directory from the backup? If I do that, will Time
Machine not work as expected on the backup disk? I would not cause a
problem...
Regards
