I’m having an issue with my Windows Server where the folder C:/USER or USER01/AppData/Roaming/Microsoft/Crypto/RSA/ keeps generating tons of random files, and UrBackup is unable to complete the backups.
How should I configure the exclusions so that UrBackup does not back up this folder? I tried /AppData/Roaming/Microsoft/Crypto/RSA/ but it didn’t work.
hi rdred. I have my exclusions working with full Windows Path using backslash: “c:\Users.…;c:\Program Files.…;”
Have you tried that way?
To exclude multiple users (Stephanie. Fred, Pat) you can use the * wildcard on the exclude statement.
*/AppData/Roaming/Microsoft/Crypto/RSA/*
Note the starting and ending * which means any AppData folder anywhere with the rest of the folders behind it, and then exclude the contents of each user’s RSA folder. You can use either / or \ as folder delimiters, as UrBackup treats them the same.
You will also need to INCLUDE C:/Users along with any other folders you want to back up. Typically I EXCLUDE most C:/Users/ folders by only including what I want. For example:
Default directory C:\Users and Include Users\:\Desktop\*;Users\:\Documents\*;Users\:\Downloads\*;Users\:\Pictures\*
Where the colon : is a special UrBackup wildcard for a single directory - i.e. the username between the slashes and nothing else.
This backs up only those 4 folders. If I need something from AppData, I add those folders as another include phrase. With that I seldom need to exclude anything.
