AutoDoublerª 2.0 comes with CopyDoublerª which allows compressed and
faster copying.

There are two ways to exclude a file/folder from compressing.  In
the AutoDoubler control panel using the exclude function you can select
the file/folder by name or label.  When you highlight a folder the
exclude button on the right becomes a open button but the exclude
button under the listing will select a folder.  You can also append
a ".dc" (thats a period followed by lowercase dc) to exclude
files/folders/drives/volumes from compression.
