Max,

You'll need to pattern match the files once way or
another.  Another
option is to use the prune feature described in the
manpage.  What do
your filenames look like?

This files need to categorized in some way to do what
you want.  I'd suggest
putting all your executables in a known subdirectory
of your project, and
exclude that directory from being backed up.  This
only involves your filesystem
and flexbackup.

Carlos,

I'd suggest using something like:
$exclude_expr[0] = '.*(?<!\.nsf)$';

Prune is only for directories.

  unfortunately the program names do not follow any rule. Moreover, I
can also add or delete executables during the developing period. A
question: do you think it is possible to implement such a feature with
my  small knowledge of Perl? I think this feature can be interesting
for other users...

Hi:

Can anybody share some "prune" examples?

What I need to do is similar (opposite).
I need to backup just .nsf files on some directory.

So I'll try to not_to_backup anything else.

Thanx
