Greetings Kind Regards I would find it helpful if directories can be filtered out . For example I would like to filter out the .vs directories which Visual Studio creates . I entered *.vs as an exclude mask however upon backup the .vs directories were copied .

Tested here. The .vs subdirectories are created but empty as it should be. Do you get files inside your .vs folders?

I experience the same issue. This is a pity because the .vs folder is not relevant en can grow very large.
Can it be because this folder is read-only (only applies to files in folder) and hidden?

I use
*\.vs*\*
and
*\.svn*\*
and works fine.

Thanks, I can confirm that *\.vs*\* works fine.
Case closed.
