 |
|
Is there a way to exclude particular files within a subfolder in the source? I intend to set up an automatic laptop backup on our network with your software, but don't really want to be responsible for storing GBs of .mp3 files or .jpg's of the user's kids, etc.
Thanks! |

In VV PRO 2, try adding a file filter in the profile settings which excluded c:\foldertobeexcluded\*.mp3 and c:\foldertobeexcluded\*.jpg
If you want excluded all mp3 files just add an "exclude filter" *.mp3

And what if there are a lot of subfolders which have *.mp3 and/or *.jpg files to be excluded?, should one have to setup a lot of filters?
Is not there a way to extend the file filter (*.mp3) to exclude (or include) all that files starting from a root folder and not from another one?
I mean some sort of rsync syntax:
--include="*/" --include="#_*" --include="standard.*" --exclude="*"
what means:
- include subfolders, (from a specified root folder) then
- include "#_*" files, then
- include "standard.*" files, and then
- exclude all the rest |

Hello, thanks for the feedback. This type of filtering is currently not possible in ViceVersa, but it is a good idea: I have added this to our future enhancement list.

Thank you very much.
rsync syntax seems to me somewhat tricky, but, IMHO, it is extremely powerful.
I use it now on windows (as I was used to it on unix), but I was looking for another utility because rsync have to be run in a DOS command window and is command line driven, so with a lot of entries is difficult to maintain.
Would like to hear soon that this sort of filter syntax is included 
Er ... and talking about adding new features, although it was requested in another thread, it would be nice that FTP can be used for syncing, however sFTP would be nice too |
