How to Exclude files/directories in Backup Jobs
It's probably obvious... but I can't seem to find a simple way to do this ? (I did notice older similar questions, but no answers)
I set-up a simple backup-job from a share to a USB-drive. Everything lworks fine, but my share also contains some directories which I do NOT wish to replicate ?
How do I specify that some directories should NOT be included (as for rsync) ?? Naturally I can set up jobs for every directory I plans to include, but that just seems foolish :wink:
Thanks in advance

- Okey... I conclude that it's not possible, through additional digging :(, too bad.
However, I also realized that you actually have very little control of the rsync backup jobs you set through the front end. I in some cases would like to add a '--delete' or '--copy-links' parameter to the jobs, but apparently you can't do that either ?
Ahh well, mustn't grumble.. back to backup-scripting (at least the ReadyNAS is super-cool for that).. :D
