Hi,
So I would like to backup my important data to B2 (encrypted of course) in case of disaster however, I do not want to include movies, TV shows, and VM backups.
With the way my dataset is organized, I have multiple media directories on different datasets.
So, in order to backup everything important (without creating a.sync task for each small dataset), I need to set one sync task for my whole pool and then specify which areas to exclude.
I have read the filtering rules for rclone and I believe I have done it correctly. But there must be something I'm missing here.
Below is a representation of my file tree and my list of exclusions. [This is not actually my file hierarchy but it is condensed and it is a close representation]
Do I need to include absolute paths here?
If there is a space in the name, do I need to put the entire line in quotes?
I would greatly appreciate your time and help.
Cheers,

Code:
Tank Person1 Media TV Shows Pictures Music Documents Person2 Media TV Shows Pictures Music Documents Shared Media TV Shows Pictures Music Documents VMBackups My Exclusion List is as follows /mnt/Tank/Person1/Media/TV Shows /mnt/Tank/Person2/Media/TV Shows /mnt/Tank/VMBackups /mnt/Tank/Shared/Media/TV Shows
