Two small bugs that will hopefully be fixed when WindowsSecrets comes out with the "new and improved" version.

1) Destination Drive always shows as having "-1 of -1 bytes free"
This is no big deal, it just doesn't show the true space available.

2) More serious. Apparently the Global Exclusions don't work.
This means backing up some files that don't need backing up, and makes the backup log really ugly with all the files I normally exclude that can't back up because of "File in use" or similar. Not a problem for me, but YMMV.

I also ran into a fixable problem when the extra \\?\ added to the directory paths ran me over the 256 character path length limit on about a dozen files in really deep sub-directories. To fix them I just made the filenames themselves a little bit less descriptive.

Example: D:\$ Music\_MP3s\CLASSICAL\Composers A-B\Beethoven, Ludwig van\The Piano Trios [Beaux Arts Trio], Disc 4\Beethoven - The Piano Trios Disc 4 - 06 - Beethoven-Trio in E flat, Op. 38 (after Septet, Op. 20)- VI. Andante con moto alla marcia - Presto.mp3

Yeah... That one is only 249 characters.
