exclude folders from a task & do not overwrite

[WildTigra]

Good afternoon, I have 2 questions about the program.
1 - how to exclude folders from a task, leaving only files. I tried using a regular expression (.*\\\org_\\.* - all folders begin with org), I found it here on the forum but it doesn’t work. I'm not very good at regular expressions myself.
2 - is it possible not to copy files if they already exist. do not overwrite them if the name matches. If so, please explain how.

Thanks for your help, I'm looking forward to your advice.

Foe nr 2, you could just use an incremental backup.

ok, thanks, I'll check it and report back.

Incremental backup is not suitable. Let me explain the task in more detail.
There is a file. It must be copied every day to another place, such as FTP. But when this file is changed on the original source, it is NOT necessary to copy it to FTP and replace the one lying there.
This is like additional protection against a virus that overwrites all files. So that Сobian does not change the files for me on FTP, with files from the original source that the virus changed

When using Incremental backup, Cobian still replaces the file that already exists with the modified one.

Just tell your task to create separated backups. Easy as that.

Hi all. After experimenting a little, this regular expression helped exclude folders from copying " ^.+\\org_.*\\.*$ ".
