So I’ve read all the articles I can, and have tried setting after setting but I can’t seem to get my files to back up. Here’s the scenario:
I have a boot drive C: and a data drive E:
On File backups, if I put C:* and E:* in Included Files, I get no files. I’ve tried the “ALL_NOUSB” setting as well, but my file backups are always only of C:
Im pulling my hairs out. Could someone nudge me? I’m not asking for anyone to solve it, but just get me on the right track so I can learn to do this myself. Thank you!
Try C:\|C;E:\|E
If that fails try with * or *.* after each \
the |Alias is because it’ll complain in the logs about a : in the name if you don’t add it.

Hello everyone,
I have more or less the same problem:
I have two hard disks under Windows 10 with UrBackup Client 2.5.25.
With “Image backups” both hard disks are backed up, which works perfectly.
For “File backups”, I want to back up from hard disk C: all the file (except for the preset exclusions) and from hard disk D: only a selected folder “D:\Folder*”.
If I enter the folder “D:\Folder*” in the settings under “Include in backup (with wildcards)”, then no files are backed up; although it says that the data backup was successful.
Even the variant with “D:\Folder*|D” did nothing.
Only if I leave this field empty, then at least all the files from hard disk C: are backed up, as it should be.
Is this a bug or is there another setting which have to be set?
Many thanks in advance
What have you got set on the windows client app? Right click then add/remove backup paths…

Thank you very much!
If you right-click on the Windows client under “Add/remove backup paths” and add the desired folder of the second hard disk. Then everything works as it should.
The only question remains why are there two setting options. Once with “Add/remove backup paths” and once under Settings with “Include in backup (with wildcards)”.
