Swap file exclude on secondary volumes?

Post by backupquestions »

I have swap file blocks checked to be excluded, but this appears to only work on OS volumes? I have a D drive for example on a windows 2016 vm and on that drive, I have a pagefile.sys 12GB showing in the backup.

I can just add in exclusion in the guest processing/app aware area for "pagefile.sys" correct? "D:\pagefile.sys"

Hi Alabaster,

Yes, I think it should do the trick. This help center page describes different examples of file exclusions and limitations.

Thanks!
