Exclude directories recursive

[Erretje]

I'm evaluating Hasleo Backup Suite and would like to exclude all Python generated venv\ and build\ directories recursively from the backup root directory. This saves a large amount of backup storage. How can I do this?

Thanks!

Hi and welcome to the forum!

The free version doesn't support custom exclusion filters. Starting with the Home edition you can define your own exclusion filters in the options:



This is also explained in the online documentation here:
https://www.easyuefi.com/backup-software...tions.html

Unfortunately there's no way to exclude dynamic folders (with wildcard) yet. Wildcards are supported in filenames only.

So you currently have these 3 options:

• Add all the "venv\" and "build\" folders of all projects manually -> option "Folder path"
  
• Exclude filenames that match your criteria (if that's possible) -> option "File name"
  
• Exclude filenames that match your criteria (if that's possible) and also give a folder path as a starting point -> option "Folder path + File name" with [x] Recursive subfolders
  

Maybe dynamic folders / wildcards for folders would be a good feature addition for future HBS versions?
