HBS Backup job exclude filter options

Post by z624391 »

In the past I used a regular expression in the other field of the "Excluded the following types" rules page. Using that I was able to excluded complete folders (instead of files).
When I try to repeat myself I am not able to define a working regular expression which really results in an excluded path to a folder.

This could mean that:
- regular expressions are no longer recognized;
- I setup invalid regular expressions;
- maybe there is another way to excluded complete folders

I hope that somebody is able to help me with this, at this moment I am stuck. I hope that there is a way to excluded folders.

Well, I was able to generate it by myself (again). It is a regulare expression but with very limited capabilities:

The filter I created is: "/Data\ (SSD), /\.swap, /\.samba*, /_.share, /\.tmp, /log*, /\.logs". This is excluding all path referenties in the baclup job.

When I check the history output file I see clearly that all arguments are recognized and used as filter.
