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 .

You can enter

*\.vs\*

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?

Yes i did

Will try to reproduce this somehow.

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.
