I am backing up both my D:\ and E:\ drives but I am trying to exclude *.rst files from the E:\ drive only. I used a file mask "E:\*.rst" but the .rst files are all still being backed up from both drives. Any ideas?
The estimate in the Task List shows 2.82 TB but then the actual backup is 4.75 TB because of the inclusion of these files from the E: drive. So it can estimate the size correctly but when it goes to actually back up the files, it includes them for some reason. I believe the filter "*.rst" works for both drives but I only really want to exclude the .rsts on the E: drive.
Thanks. Great software.

Re: Exclusion filters not working
Om rst files are not on the root directory you could try with E:\*\*.rst

Luis, thank you for responding. Will E:\*\*.rst work to find any depth of subdirectory and exclude those .rsts? Or just one level deeper?
It hope would be that it would exclude all these:
E:\fun.rst
E:\neat\thing.rst
E:\neat\cool\swell\test\extra.rst
