Exclude VDI's. #37

Closed mcbridet closed 7 years ago

mcbridet commented 7 years ago

Some of our virtual machines have VDI's that are used for scratch disks (tempoary files), or data that is not necessary to backup.

Is it possible to add an exclude option for VDI files so that these are not included in the backup process?

Kind Regards.

Currently, we only support backing up the root VDI (device 0), which contains presumably just the operating system. One way to achieve what you want would be to clone the VM and delete any unwanted VDIs before backing it up.
