Excluding Files

You use the Exclusions Editor to create an exclusion list for files so that those files are not captured during the OS snapshot process, and will not be included in the OS snapshot file.

Launch the Exclusions Editor and open an exclusions file by performing the steps listed in Launching Exclusions Editor:

On the Files tab, click New. The File Exclusion Information dialog box opens.

Enter or browse to the directory Path containing the file you want to exclude.

Enter the name of the file you want to exclude, or browse to it by clicking browse (...) to the right of the Excluded Files field. If you want to exclude multiple files from the same directory, separate them with semicolons (|). If you want to exclude all files in a directory, enter an asterisk (*).

Click OK to close the File Exclusion Information dialog box. The new exclusion appears in the Files tab.

Save the exclusions file as described in Launching Exclusions Editor:

When configuring file exclusions for Repackager, you are only configuring Repackager to automatically mark the file as excluded; this can be changed from within Repackager on a file-by- file basis. However, when configuring file exclusions for the OS Snapshot Wizard, files in the exclusion list are not captured in the OS snapshot file.
