Backup job ignoring file exclusions

[kaboomza]

HI there,

I have a job configured that was working fine with file exclusions under guest processing. I had it configured to only backup a specific folder under the E: drive and for the first couple of backups was working as intended but now for some reason, It has stopped working and is grabbing all the content of the disk although I have specified to "only include the following folders" any ideas?

We did recently expanded the disk size, do you think that could have anything to do with it?

I just realized that because we expanded the disk it is now in a "spanned" state and according to the veam tech docs this doesn't work for excluding files. is this correct?

Volumes on the dynamic disks must not be split. Spanned, striped and other types of split volumes cannot be excluded.

Hello Jaques,

Yes, spanned disks are not supported by guest file exclusions. Please check here for the complete list of limitations.

Thanks
