I have tried both Catagory and File Backup. They both reject .mat files.
I got an answer from technical support. It seems that Smartware takes everything threw a file extension filter. See this document for the filter:
In other words if you use MATLab then automatic backup is useless.
You may also want to note that some programs put data with there executables in the \Program Files folder. They are not supposed to but some do. Automatic backup willl never handle these files either.
In general Smartware’s rules on what to backup are simple and inflexible. Smartware stupidly follows these rules and will not work in many people. I wonder how many people thought they had a backup and did not.
