iDrive as Cloud backup

[artisfun]

For a couple of months I've been backing up to the cloud using JungleDisk with no known problems. JungleDisk is Whitelisted and selected the EspionageBackup folder (the location of Espionage's regular backups). As a side note, when I look at the listing of files for Restores, EspionageMounts is listed but this folder was not selected for backups. I'm guessing Espionage knows to include the folder since it is a hidden file, right?

Now I'm trying out another cloud backup company, iDrive. Added iDriveforMac and iDriveDaemon to Whitelisted and selected the EspionageBackup folder.

So far nothing has worked to get the EspionageBackup folder to be backed up by iDrive. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. According to the backup log info, iDrive apparently sees the EspionageBackup folder as being a part of the excluded list which is true for hidden files. I did try removing the exclusion for hidden files but that did not help. Other files on the same external drive will backup to iDrive.

Thanks for your time.

Working on a backup exercise at 2am is probably not the best time.
I went back and changed the setting for Excluding hidden files/folders to Allow hidden files/folders. Removed iDriveDaemon from Whitelisted. And the backup of the EspionageBackups runs fine.
