Exclusions

[rscurrah]

I want to exclude paths from the agent backup using wildcards but I am not sure of the format. e.g. I am backing up /xxx/yyy and want to exclude anything in the sub-directories under that level which have paths containing */zzz (this could be several more directory levels down), I have */zzz configured as a file mask exclusion but will this catch all I want it to?

The exclude wildcard is indeed * so your assumption is correct.

Hi,

I just want to clarify something: you basically want to backup everything in, say, /home, expect directories named zzz? Or you don't want to back up files named zzz?

Thanks

[rscurrah]

Yes everything in /home except directories named zzz and their contents

Wildcards do not work with directories exclusions. Noted as feature request.

Thanks

Hi,

According to the documentation wildcards are supported in the "file Filters" dialog:
https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backu ... l?ver=95u4

This works:
/my/folder/that/i/want/to/exclude/*

This does not work:
/my/folder/*/i/want/to/exclude/*

Could this be made possible?

Thanks,

Maurice
