I have excluded folder. (example "Document/Excluded Folder/*.*"

When a look into protocol, Cobian Backup is analizing each file in subfolder separatly. (It takes a lot of time.)
(example of protocol (I guess english words):
Document/Excluded Folder/a.txt ...excluded)
Document/Excluded Folder/b.txt ...excluded)
...
)

Is it posible to set Cobian to skip needless analizing of contain of excluded folder?

I think what is taking a lot of time is that you are using a verbose log. A normal log would tale 1/10 of the time you are getting now.

Hi,

first of all thanks for providing us this awesome piece of software. Glad

I'm having the same problem as stki. I want to exclude a directory which contains tens of thousands of files and directories, but it takes about half an hour just to get through these before the backup of the desired files finally starts.

Is there a way to skip/ignore/exclude the entire folder without going through its subfolders and thereby speeding things up? I mean what's the point of scanning every subdirectory and file if you just want to skip the entire folder anyways?

Verbose log is turned off by the way.

Thanks
Ralf

Yes, without verbose log is skiping of each file only 1x faster (It´s not skipping whole folders.)

So is there a way to skip entire folders completely?
Or can this be fixed in the next version? It really takes A LOT OF time if you are trying to exclude thousands of sub-folders.
