Including only Specific Repeating Folder

Post by AJMarek »

I'm having trouble getting Syncovery v11 to accomplish something with Inclusion Masks.

Scenario structure is lots of higher level folders with the same folder underneath each

Folder A
\Sub1
\Sub2
Folder B
\Sub1
\Sub2

I want to backup the structure (so it includes the Folder A level) but only \Sub2 for every one of them. Each in their own little tree so I know who belongs to whom.

I'm coming up empty trying with an Inclusion Mask where it is very easy with an Exclusion Mask if I wanted to do the opposite. I don't want to populate a big Exclusion Mask to leave \Sub2 because the structure is not always the same. \Sub2 is always there, but other folders change.

Ideas please and thank you!

Hello,
in this case, please leave the Inclusion Masks field completely empty.

Choose the "Folder Masks" checkbox below, and type
Sub2
in the pop-up dialog box. Leave the first two checkmarks checked and the last two unchecked.

I hope this works for you!

I really appreciate the quick reply and I had stumbled upon this very easy solution after I posted (I must have missed this simple combination) and was making this far more complicated than it really is. My backup was successful and exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!
