Hi,
I'm trying to understand how to ignore folders, and I can't figure it out, so I created a few folders and files to test it.
Here is the folder tree I'm using:
![Image]()
Basically a testing folder, containing 3 levels of nested folders, each folder containing a text file.
If I backup using the filter *\folder2\*, I get a backup that looks like this:
![Image]()
So the files inside folder2 were ignored, but not the subfolders. That's not what I want (and that's not what the mask should mean).
How do I ignore a folder completely?
Thanks!
