Hi Damian

Have you tried the following exclusions?

Code: Select all

nas.domain:/backup/subfolder01/abc/xyz
nas.domain:/backup/subfolder01/def/xyz
Excluding Objects

This screenshot is from Veeam Backup & Replication v12.1. It shows you a list of possible exclusions for a File To Tape job:

Hi Fabian, thank yoiu.

I did and i tried a "/" at the end too.
I even recreated the job with your suggestion, but doesn´t work either.
Job calculation: "17.01.2024 08:00:19 :: Total backup job size: 9680 files and 469 folders (8,8 TB)" 8,8 TB is the complete size of "subfolder01".

Is there any log where i can see how veeam is processing the exclusions?
