File backup skipping files
Get the error that something is in use by another process. Most of the time it's an Office tilde file. Is there a way to ignore files that have a tilde in the filename?

Path not found error accessing c:\users\<user name>\ntuser.dat and c:\users\<user name>\appdata\local\microsoft\windows\usrclass.dat. The NTUSER.DAT file doesn't actually exist, at least not hours later when I actually go look for it. The other file is there though.
{~*, *~, ~*.*}
You can use above in exclude list.~* : Will exclude all files which name starts with ~.*~ : Exclude all files which has ~ at its end.~*.* : Exclude files starts with ~ and of any file extension.{ } : Apair of curly brackets (or braces) indicates multiple file name patterns, which can be use at a time.I hope this would help you.
