Disk backup and exclusions

Thread needs solution

Hi, I have TI 2015 on Win 10 and am doing "disks and partitions backup." I have NOT checked the "sector" backup option. I have listed a number of folders and extensions (for instance, *.vdi) in the exclusion list, but the full backup still has these listed when I browse the image.

Any help?

Did you add the exclusions at the time of the setup of the backup task, or afterwards?
I only exclude folders. Is this the same problem for folders and files selected through extensioins?

Thanks for the quick reply. I had an existing backup and I edited the settings. I added both file extension exclusions and folder exclusions (both target at the same files, the large *.vdi files in the Oracle VirtualBox VMs folder. Then I saved the definition and did another backup. I then browsed the image and these files were still there.

Was it a new full backup or an incr/diff backup that you ran afterwards?

This is what I was going to propose yes.
