File filters and folder exclusions

Leave temporary files and unwanted subfolders out of your backup.

How to use it

  1. On File filters, enable filtering for this job. Preset rules do not apply while the feature is disabled.
  2. Check the types you want to exclude, such as temporary files or thumbnail caches.
  3. Use the file-type field for an extension that is not listed. Advanced rules can use patterns such as *.tmp or node_modules/.
  4. On Folder exclusions, select unwanted subfolders inside the main source.
  5. Save and check the file results. After filter changes, the old size measurement may be hidden until the next run.
Good to knowChecked file types are excluded. Folder exclusions are relative to the main source; check additional sources separately.
