How to exclude some files #46

Closed nxshock closed 1 year ago

nxshock commented 1 year ago

Is there any way to exclude some files from archiving? For example, do not include temporary directories like /tmp or /var/tmp when archiving /.

nxshock commented 1 year ago

Looks like I found solution in ZPAQ docs: -only to include, -not to exclude files.

Yes, you can :)
Those are arrays (vectors) so you can use more than one -not or -only Warning: on Windows there are / and not \

zpaqfranz a z:\2 c:\dropbox\Dropbox -not c:/dropbox/Dropbox/mamma -not *.txt -not *.exe -not c:/dropbox/dropbox/clienti

On *nix beware of parameters and " Those are NOT the same thing

zpaqfranz a /tmp/u1.zpaq /root/script -not /root/script/*.sh
zpaqfranz a /tmp/u2.zpaq /root/script -not "*.sh"

On zpaqfranz 57+ you will see exactly the wildcard expansion

root@aserver:/tmp # zpaqfranz a /tmp/urgone2 /root/script -not /root/script/*.sh
