plugins folder exclude rule no longer exists

I wasn’t sure how to create the subject line but I want to report a strange thing that has happened.  I have several sites using BPS Pro and confirmed that this is happening.

I noticed yesterday that one of my sites had over 4000 files in the wp-content ARQ backup.  It surprised me because the normal number is less than 2K.  I then realized that, in spite of a plugins exclude rule, it had backed up my plugins folder.  This folder had been heretofore excluded prior to the upgrade.

Deleting the contents of wp-content from the ARQ screen did not resolve it.  Twice, I applied the exclude rule and deleted the wp-content backup and it still backed up the plugins folder.  I was only able to get it to stop backing up the plugins folder after I went to the folder via FTP to delete all the empty folders that remained under plugins even after I hit the delete wp-content backups button.

This happened on two sites and then I went to upgrade another site.  The plugins backup folder was clearly empty.  I checked it via FTP and refreshed.  In the process of the upgrade (even though plugins had been excluded), it backed up the plugins folder.  I’m not sure how or when but I can confirm that this occurred during upgrade.
