Exclude with Wildcards: Server 2.0.30

Server
1

I’m not sure if I’ve entered the exclusions correctly but over the internet file backups seem to include the excluded files.

My Exclusion list looks like this
.pst;.mp3;.avi;.mkv;.mp4;.mpg;.mpeg;.vod;.wmv;.mov;.m4v;.wav;.wma;.iso;.vhd;.vhdx;*.ost

there are * before .file name to show wild card but this forum is removing them so looks incorrect in this post

Using Wildcards works well or me:

*.pst;*.mp3;*.avi;*.mkv;*.mp4;*.mpg;*.mpeg;*.vod;*.wmv;*.mov;*.m4v;*.wav;*.wma;*.iso;*.vhd;*.vhdx;*.ost

Edit: I have seen to late, that you are using the * …

Could you check if it properly propagates to C:\Program Files\UrBackup\urbackup\data\settings.cfg on the client?

Hi Uroni,

I don’t see my exclude list on the client under settings.cfg only the default. what can i do to resolve this

I guess it shows the correct exclude list if you select the client on the server?

Do you have Allow client-side changing of settings enabled or disabled for the client?

Hi Uroni,

Thank you for your response. yes you are correct the exclude list does display correctly on the server side for the client. and yes “Allow client-side changing of settings” is enabled (is this the cause)?
