Hello,

Using version 11.0.8101, there is documentation relating to wildcards, but it all seems to talk about files rather than folders. It says you can use the normal windows wildcards, but I'm finding it really difficult to exclude a folder (in the my Data Backup user section, or the overall backup section)

Could we please have a definitive piece of documentation about excluding, with covers folders too. If I have a folder like

L:\dir1\dir2

then none of these work to exclude it

*dir2
*\dir2
dir2\*
*\dir2\*

This is wasting me huge amount of time, since the directory is huge.

thanks
Dave

Hello Dave UK!

Thank you for sharing your concerns with us, I will be glad to address your question.

In order to exclude the folder with the help of wildcards you need to specify the full path to it, it should look like: 

*L:\dir1\dir\

Don't forget "\" symbol in the end.

Let me know if it doesn't work or you have any additional questions, we will be glad to help you.
