VBR for VMware 12.x, how to exclude page files using the Veeam GUI ?
Can we also exclude temp files ?

I have read the user guide but it is only for cmd line ?

Hi zadrian

At the end of that Help Center article, you’ll find a link to "Configure swap file exclusion for backup jobs", where the UI steps are explained.
Swap files are excluded by default — the option "Exclude swap file blocks" should already be enabled in all your backup jobs.
Can we also exclude temp files?
Temp files can be excluded using the guest processing options (Help Center v12 - VM Guest OS File Exclusions). Please note that enabling Guest File Exclusion will affect job performance.

Best,
Fabian
