You can try  exclude ?:\...\*.XXX where XXX is the normal extension for
these files.  In a client option set (so it's on the server, not on the
client) would be good, since some of them may be sneaky little darlings.

I have a need to prevent the backup of large "rendered" video files.  I
know that the best way to do this is through an incl/excl list and not
back up the directories where these should be stored.  However, this is
a student lab and the little darlings will probably find a way to store
them in the "wrong" place.

Is there a way to exclude from backup all files of size "x" or greater?

Thanks in advance.
