Filter Out Diretories
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 .

Re: Filter Out Diretories
it did not work . does it matter that the directory i wish to filter out is a subdirectory ?

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

Re: Filter Out Diretories
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?

*\.svn*\*
and works fine.
