On-Demand Backups explicitly back up the files listed in the Content File. If the Content file has two entries for the same file, the file will be backed up twice.
For example, consider a Content File that lists the following entries:
/usr/
/usr/textfile
In this scenario, the textfile folder will be backed up twice because the Content File also has an entry for the parent folder usr.
It is recommended that Content Files avoid such duplicate entries. If you are unable to avoid duplicate entries, use the following steps to prevent the duplication of data.
