Hi everyone,
I am trying to exclude specific folders from my CPS backup job.
These folders are subfolders from random created folders. So I would like use a wildcard like: *\foldername\*
But when I enter this, I get the error message saying: "the filter cannot contain the following characters: \@#$%^&/"
Does any one know how to do this?
Thank you!

The Include / Exclude option within the Continuous Protection Server (CPS) job configuration is only designed for files.

Kiran,
Thank you for your reply.
I also found this article. I believe in the past it was possible to filter out specific folders. Or is this only possibel in Backup exec, instead of Backup exec CPS?
Is there perhaps a workaround?
Thanks!

Other than removing from backup selection list, no other work around.
You can exclude folders from backingup in BE.
