Includes and excludes need to follow some special rules on Windows because the file separator "\" is also the escape character for the regular expressions used in the includes and excludes.

I updated the Windows specific documentation and added support for these special rules to the file chooser (all in svn).

I'm using JBackpack 0.9 on Windows XP. I am trying to backup 2 profiles in "C:\Documents and Settings" as per the manual. I have setup the source directory as "C:\Documents and Settings", my Excluded files are "C:\Documents and Settings" and my Exceptions are "C:\Documents and Settings\Roched" and "C:\Documents and Settings\rochey".
When I start the backup I get the following error;

Fatal Error: Fatal Error: The file specification
'C:\Documents and Settings\Roched'
cannot match any files in the base directory
'C:\Documents and Settings'
Useful file specifications begin with the base directory or some
pattern (such as '**') which matches the base directory.

I have also tried to use the green "+" to navigate to the folders and the error still appears.

I understand that regular expressions can be used in the Excluded and Exceptions area but there isn't any information or examples on how to do this.
