Windows 11 Registry FilesNotToSnapshot question

[admin]

I'm a bit curious and that's all. It's your computer, your data and your desired way of doing things.
My curiosity concerns why desire so many exclusions in a backup program? My view, is to keep a backup and restore as simple as possible and it is better to backup too much rather than find it was too little.
My method to avoid files I don't want to image as frequently as the others, such as games which don't change much, is to put them on their own partition.

NP... I appreciate you sharing what works for you! But the thing is that your plan won't work for me. For example, you said ( My method to avoid files I don't want to image as frequently as the others, such as games which don't change much, is to put them on their own partition )... I also want to image all my drives and folders/files and I do, I just change the backup frequency Like once a day or week for the folders/files I figure don't need so much attention.  No messing around with partitions   and moving things around.  Exclusions help me to take out the huge files/folders, backup those nearly empty partitions, and create backup jobs for those excluded folders/files to restore back to those already restored original partitions later. For me anyway, this plan is simple, and I never have found a restore that "was too little"...My Plan may sound rediculous to you, but Hey, it makes me happy.

Regarding the issue of not supporting FilesNotToSnapshot, we will make improvements in future versions. If you only need to back up a small number of files on a drive, we recommend using file backup instead of disk backup. Because excluding unnecessary files from a VSS snapshot requires additional processing time, while file backup allows you to directly select the files you need, making it faster.
