xcp 1.6.2 excluding folder

hamedg — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 10:45:30 GMT

I need to exclude a folder from sync . I am using the following parameter however this does not seems to be working

-exclude "'folder-a/b/c/*'"

Idea is anything under folder c should be excluded. is this the correct format?

so correct answer is

-exclude path('*path/to/your/folder*')

Hi Hamedg,

I looked into your request and see that the "-exclude" flag is now introduced in XCP 1.6.2, which the reference document for XCP 1.6.2 does not describe the flag or all the various parameters it supports. I have communicated this to our Engineering Team to update the documentation. I apologize in advance.

For your reference: XCP 1.6.2 to add exclude filter for files and folders

Regards,

Team NetApp

is there any update on what filters/formats can be used with -exclude?
