Exclude, an how to about it please :/

[adlp]

Hello,

I would backup a server, with the type "Root FileSystem" (because a big part of the current exclusion are fine to me) But, I would like to exclude to other directory (and one of them is /var/lib/docker :D )

I've not found the right syntax

Please help :dagger:

Antoine.

I have rechecked the code and for now, you can exclude folder on the "Folders" policy but the backup command doesn't handle them.

"RootFS" policy cannot have excluded dirs added.

I can configure both of them to handle an exclude folders options. Today, each folders present on the current list are added to an exclude option of borg. I'm not sure to understand the difference between --exclude and --exclude-if-present option of Borg :/
