I would like to exclude specific folders from my backup |
Version 3.2x:
In version 3.2x click on the "Excl" button in the advanced backup
entry editor to add the folder names there. With version 3.25d and
above, this functionality has been enhanced to support full wildcard
specifications as well.
Both Versions:
In version 3.25d and up (including version
4.0), the exception (in 3.x: "exclude") list can contain any of the following:
- Full pathname (C:\Windows\Temp)
- Pathname without drive letter (\Windows\Temp) (ver 3.25c+)
- Bare folder name (Temp) (ver 3.25d+)
- Folder name relative to backup folder (Windows\Temp) (ver 3.25d+)
- Wildcard specification (C:\*\Temp) (ver 3.25d+)
Note: If wildcards are used, the same rules apply as in file
specification criteria: multiple criteria may be used on a single line,
separated by spaces. If one of the criteria contains a space it must
be included in quotations:
"C:\My Documents\My *" "C:\Old Data"
Exception lists may also contain
FileBack PC variables. If necessary, separate multiple
folder entries in a variable with a semicolon (;):
{FB$TEMP};"C:\Documents and Settings\*\Temporary Internet Files";*\Archive
