Hi,
I’ve been trying to come up with an exclusion solution for Windows clients where I can exclude common directories that can appear on any drive the machine has.
What I have tried so far were *\Directory\* and Directory\* but none of them worked. Is there a way to exlucde C:\Directory;E:\Directory;F:\Directory with just a single entry to avoid duplication?
Cheers,
Mate
Putting \Directory\ in Excluded files (with wildcards) should work.
Which makes me think in case @uroni read this that i think there s a bug for the linked folder on windows
They have to be excluded using this type of patern, the full path is not wokring for me in case the folder ends up being symlinked.
I noticed it for folder found in a user folder linked to appdata folder on c:.
I Gotta find a more precise example at the office, but for example eset put virus definition in c:\user\username\something\something\definitions, this is actually a link to c:\appdata\eset\definition
When backing up c:\users; the exclude wildcard has to be \definitions\ *\user\username\something\something\definitions* doesn t works
These problematic folder are always named (as i remember) .symlinked_folder in the urbackup server disk
It is such path which are problematic
ls -la /datapath/datas/clientname/170627-1550/.symlink_ProgramData/ESET/ESET\ File\ Security/
