Exculde using: .gitignore

Thread needs solution

hello,

is there a way to feed the Acronis true image a file: .gitignore and ignore all file/folders inside it?

also, i want to ignore files and folders matching the path: app/build

so, when it sees app/build it must ignore it.

thanks

Mohammed, welcome to these User Forums.

There is no method provided 'to feed the Acronis true image a file: .gitignore and ignore all file/folders inside it'  but you can setup equivalent Exclusions using the settings for this in your ATI backup task.

Select your backup task in the main ATI GUI panel, then click on the Options button to open up the configuration settings panels, select the Exclusions page and set your files/folders paths there for what you want ATI to ignore.

See the ATI 2018 User Guide: Excluding items from backup - for more information.

Hi Steve and thanks for the reply.

ATI doesn't accept this pattern: app/build

i have a working folder with daily new users/clients folders:

d:\working\user1\app\build

d:\working\user2\app\build

d:\working\user3\app\build

and so on

every day i create 3 to 4 user folders, and i it's annoying to add these folders Manually to ATI.

 

i am looking for something to exclude the folder app\build whenever it finds within the path during backup.

 

thanks in advance

 

Mohammed, what type of backup are you making here?  Is this a Disks & Partitions backup, or is it a Files & Folders backup?

What you can / can't exclude depends on the type of backup being created.  You cannot put a folder path in a Files & Folders exclusion such as app/build - ATI will not allow \ or / to be used.

hi

i backup one folder and has many Android Projects.

 

i think ATI is missing Regex in the Exclude. you should consider this very high.

 

like this:

Filter Syntax and Parameters

Wildcards

* matches any sequence of characters
? matches an arbitrary single character 
[a-z] matches a range of characters, such as a to z
\c matches character “c”. Use it when character to match is * or ? or [ 
/ separates folders (do not use \ as folder separator, not even in Windows)

 

path /folder/file 
Line that starts with "path /" (or just "/") matches file or folder path (relative to sync folder) 
to a specified wildcard or string. 

Examples: 
path /folder1/file2.ext -- matches file by its path 
path /Parent* -- matches all paths whose top level folder is “Parent” 
path /[a-z0-9]* -- matches all paths whose top level folders start with characters 'a' to 'z' or '0' to '9' 
path /\[Originals\] -- matches all paths whose top level folder is '[Originals]'.

 

 

regards

Mohammed, sorry but I am just a user of Acronis products the same as you.  You will need to submit your design change requirement directly to Acronis using the Feedback tool provided in the ATI GUI (in the Help section).
