Exclude Items

File exclude filter

Files and directories are only considered for synchronization if they pass all filter rules. They have to match at least one entry in the include list and none of the entries in the exclude list as presented in the filter configuration dialog:


Example: Exclude items for mirror-sync from C:\Source to D:\Target

Filter description Filter phrase
Single file C:\Source\file.txt \file.txt
Single folder C:\Source\SubFolder \SubFolder\
All files (and folders) named thumbs.db *\thumbs.db
All *.tmp files located in SubFolder \SubFolder\*.tmp
Files and folders containing temp somewhere in their path *temp*
Multiple entries separated by semicolon *.tmp; *.doc; *.bak
All subdirectories of the base directories *\
*.txt files located in subdirectories of base directories \*\*.txt

Example: Exclude a sub folder except for certain files

Set up two folder pairs with the same source and target paths but with distinct local filters:
Folder pair 1; local exclude filter: \SubFolder\
Folder pair 2; local include filter: \SubFolder\*.txt
