Module: Backup data

Hi,

I’m trying to exclude some file extensions from the backup. I added those lines to /etc/backup-data.d/custom.exclude :

*.mov
*.wav
*.MOV
*.WAV
*.MP4
*.mp4
*.aif
*.AIF
*.iso
*.ISO

That doesn’t work : the following error is reported :

Extract from log file /var/log/last-backup.log:

What am I doing wrong ?

Thanks

try with two wildcards **.mp4

From duplicity manual:
The new special pattern, **, expands to any string of characters whether or not it contains “/”
