Selecting files within a folder for backup

[GavinI]

Up until now I’ve just built a job by specifying which folders I want to backup. But now I have a very large file within a folder, holding my cached Lightroom previews. It’s taking a long time to back these up, and Lightroom can rebuild them if the cached previews aren’t present during a Lightroom session. I want to exclude this file - no real need to back it up.

My question is whether Freefile allows you to specify specific files within a folder so that they are excluded from a backup operation.

Thanks for pointing out the filter function. I found that adding a single “*PREVIEWS* statement as a filter conveniently excluded each Lightroom previews db associated with each catalogue. No need to specify each previews file.
