With Readyshare Vault, how can I exclude one individual file from backup?

Yes - that is correct and a commonly used technique.
Again, just to confirm, I'm responding with regard to ReadyNAS Vault. Can you confirm you are using ReadyNAS Vault (as opposed to ReadySHARE Vault)?

It sounds like I could exclude specific files excluding a folder and by putting the file or files in it. Is that right?

StanH: The answer matters - and you've ignored the question more than once. Please respond. If you are talking about a USB drive connected to a router, you are referring to ReadyShare vault.
- StanHFeb 25, 2017TutorI am using ReadyShare vault. If I were to change to ReadyNAS Vault would the solution be different?

Yes, they are quite different solutions.
While they have similar sounding names and both provide a form of data protection, ReadyNAS Vault is a separate site cloud backup service (also provides desktop applications and mobile apps for backup and access from other devices) and ReadySHARE Vault is a local backup solution to a drive attached to your router.
ReadyNAS Vault has a small free plan and paid subscriptions on top. ReadySHARE Vault is free (except that you have to provide the drive).
