Cause

For example if the condition "Files not accessed in X days" is set to 1 day and the backup job ran on Tuesday, 21:00 UTC than one may except the job to exclude files not accessed since Monday 21:00 UTC. Instead the job will then look for files not accessed since Monday, 00:00 UTC due to which the range for exclusion goes beyond 24 hours.

Resolution

This is by design behavior. 

Workaround

Use a incremental backup job to backup only changed files.

Issue/Introduction

If a backup job is run using exclude condition "Files not accessed in X days" than the backup job may end up backing up files not accessed outside of the specified days.
