Exclusion settings when executing XCP Analytics scan

It seems that the data under the ~ snapshot folder is also targeted when performing SCAN from the GUI, but is there a way to exclude it?
It is recognized that .snapshot and., .. are excluded by default.

Hello @shirotan ,

Yes, XCP version 1.6.2+ added the option to exclude. You can use the command "xcp help -exclude" for more details.

Here are some links to reference material:

Hello hmoubara
Thank you for your reply

I know there are exclusion options, but when I run a scan from the GUI, I can't specify the options.
(Maybe "-preserve-atime" and "-ownership" can be specified with checkboxes.)
