Re: [BackupPC-users] Exclude files from share and its subfolders

Thank you for your reply; I would like to exclude all .bak files from ever 
being backed up (in any share and its subfolders) but i cannot figure out how 
to do this. I used the "*" for all shares but it only excludes .bak files from 
the root of each share NOT their subfolders. Is this more clear? Thanks for 
your help.
