Hello
I need to copy my entire home directory to google drive. I want to exclude the conda sub directory. This is the code:
rclone copy . gdrive:MYHOME --exclude "*conda*" -L --dry-run
I am still getting lines in the log output indicating the copy of files from the conda directory
Thank you
I try to run --exclude "UNKNOWN**" and it works. So I am guessing maybe adding an asterix might help. Or somebody else can help you better because I am still new to rclone commands and stuff.
vrclone is absolutely right, the important point is that you are filtering path/files not directories, so you want your filter to exclude all files (in all subfolders) under something named “conda”.
Using *conda** can be risky if you happen to have a file or folder like “fanaticondata”, so I prefer to be more specific – e.g. /.conda/** or **/anaconda*/**
Where:
* matches any sequence of non-separator (/) characters
** matches any sequence of characters including / separators
