Hi All,

I've been using ifwrotate for several years without any issues. However I can come across a situation where I need to exclude some virtual server files from the backup, these files are over 70 gig in size. There are in a folder that could be excluded or by size would work too.

is there a way to do this with ifwrotate?

TIA,

You should be able to add the IFW /exlist parameter to specify a file containing the exclusion details. You would add /exlist:<filename> to the TBIParms variable in the script. There are several examples in the IFW manual for setting what gets excluded (search for /exlist).

For example, if the exclusion file is D:\exvirser.txt and the folder is D:\Virtual Server:

Add to your TBIParms variable parameters:

Code: Select all

/exlist:D:\exvirser.txt

Contents of exvirser.txt:

Code: Select all

[k]\Virtual Server\ >
