Work-around, if any
None, have tried explicitly putting /tsminst1/containers/usb2 in include

@Xaimin This issue has already been reported before for the BACKUP=RSYNC method (issue #871), and a similar issue #993 like yours.
The fix is applying the RSYNC workflow addition to the NETFS workflow. I will test this and release it when I'm satisfied with the fix

@Xaimin With the above pull request it should be better. Please try it out and let me know what the result was...

Xaimin commented at 2016-11-11 16:27:¶

@gdha Worked perfectly, thanks.

The issue is marked as "fixed"
so that I asssume it can be closed.
