[I speak Spanish and this consultation in English is translated. Sorry for the possible errors in the translation]

I want to exclude from the backup all files extension * tar.gz and all error_log

How should I include it in the cpbackup-exclude.conf file?

Thank you

Hi.-

Thanks for the help but to exclude all the files * .tar.gz and error_log that are located in any folder of the user only it is added like this:

error_log
*.tar.gz

or you have to add some path ?

This is the doubt that I have

Hi @Ramon E Navas R

If you're not going to call the path directly I would include a wildcard as follows:

# cat cpbackup-exclude.conf
*.tar.gz
*error_log

I tested this to confirm as well anything marked error_log and anything with .tar.gz is excluded from the backup.


Thanks!
