All,

 

I have a backup which backs up the following directories on all my Windows computers

 

C:\Users

 

And

 

C:\ProgramData

 

It seems to be working well, but a couple of us have Windows 10 machines with the Unix tools installed and the backups always hang here and fail.

 

C:/Users/jeffrey.west/AppData/Local/lxss/rootfs/lib/xtables/libxt_pkttype.so

 

I was wondering if there was any way to completely exclude the following directory either using a custom pl file or adding the following to the exclude in the main config.pl file.

 

$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {

â??C$â?? => [

   â??Users/*/AppData/Local/lxss/*â??

   ]

};

 

Not sure if you can use a wildcard for the username or not in the main config.pl
