Hello,

When we configure local exclusion filters with filters that are almost the same as the main exclusion filters, we have to copy all the main filters in the local filters.

Example :
[==== Main exclusion filters ====]
\System Volume Information\
\$Recycle.Bin\
\Recovery\
\RECYCLER\

[==== Local exclusion filters #1 ====]
\System Volume Information\
\$Recycle.Bin\
\Recovery\
\RECYCLER\
*\Temp\

[==== Local exclusion filters #2 ====]
\System Volume Information\
\$Recycle.Bin\
\Recovery\
\RECYCLER\
\Program Files\
\Program Files (x86)\

It would be nice to have a checkbox in the local exclusion filters to inherit the main exclusion filters. Then we would be able to only add differences to the local filters.

Example :
[==== Main exclusion filters ====]
\System Volume Information\
\$Recycle.Bin\
\Recovery\
\RECYCLER\

[==== Local exclusion filters #1 (with inherit option checked) ====]
*\Temp\

[==== Local exclusion filters #2 (with inherit option checked) ====]
\Program Files\
\Program Files (x86)\

This option would be really nice to have!

Thank you!

See the bottom part of Zenju's (the FFS author) reply to my post

According to his reply, the local exclusion apply in addition to the global exclusions.
As such, there is no need to copy the global exclusions into the local exclusions or have an option to select this, as the global exclusions are always "inherited".
