Hi, I want to backup some local folders. The size of that folder is abouot 20GB, so the backup using 7zip takes about 60 Minutes. Now I made some tests, and found out that backup using the command: 7za u -r0 archive.7z Folder
is much more faster than creating always a new archive.7z file.
Now it came out, that below the folder Folder is a subfolder transientVolume which has thousands sof subfolders/files which does not need to be backuped. How can I exlcude them?
I tried the following command: 7za u -r0 -uq0 archive.7z Folder -xr!transientVolume
But unfortunately the subfolder transientVolume is still in the backup file, it won´t be deleted. Any suggestions?
I use 7za 9.20 on Windows Server 2008.

You don't need additional switches like -r0.
and use latest 16.04 x64. It will be faster.
