Excluding folders?

Post by omnimercador »

Is it possible to exclude folders, rather than files, in the file backup mode in Windows Agent?

Specific examples: looking to exclude Dropbox, Google Drive, and Apple related folders, without having to browse through the structure and activate/deactivate individual folders manually.

Hello omnimercador,

File level backup provides the ability to select folder (you can check the volume/root folder to be included and then uncheck any child folder to be excluded). Cheers!

Hi,

Yup - I saw the manual checkboxes... it's just a bit of a pain to work through specifically the AppFolder looking for folders to excludes, where an exclusion mask would be easier... e.g. applying the file exclusions to folder names, too?

Understood. Unfortunately it's not possible to set a wildcard for a path in Exclusions. I've added your vote to this feature request, thank you!
