Ignore/Skip Windows RC Codes during Backup

As you can see in the PMR we got a big problem with some files on a netapp filer. This files were created by randomly by netapp filer. Problem is that these files have no owner, or other NTFS securitys so an windows RC appears if the BA Client try to interact with them.

For the moment we have excluded from Backup because now we know the files. Problem was that we made a snapdiff backup and the backup stops when these files were reached. You have no chance to skip these files. If you have large backups which have a long run time it is really annoying if the whole backup of an share stops because of 3 files.

Short:
We need the option to skip files which stop the whole backup process if they generate an Windows RC. Also possible is a list where we can enter Windows RC codes which should be ignored during backup.
