I have a similar selection issue in other general data folders, but decided to use the above as an example of this use-case since everyone (on Windows, at least) is familiar with the above folder structure. It’s unlikely any applications will ever create folders outside the “normal” places. I should note that if my problem were limited to the user profile folder, it would be a non-issue. C:\Users\jt\NewFolder), it will not be included in the backup set unless it is explicitly selected… But the downside to this approach is if any new files/folders appear directly under the main folder (e.g. I know the “easiest” way to do this is just select all the folders I’m interested in directly from the tree, without selecting the main user profile folder (C:\Users\jt). I’ve been unable to figure out the best way to do this, and have tried all combinations suggested here and then some (and I have now discovered the “test-filters” command-line function!). I’m not sure if this is a bug or a feature In Duplicati, at least in the GUI, once a folder is deselected from the tree (marked with a red cross), you can’t select any of the child nodes, overriding the choice on the parent node. In CP, you select a folder (C:\Users\jt), then can deselect a child folder (C:\Users\jt\AppData), but then (most importantly) you can re-select a child of a child (C:\Users\jt\AppData\Local\Electrum\wallets). However I do want everything from the main profile folder (which is the parent of AppData, now deselected), including any subfolders/files that exist now and any that may be created in the future. Note that I don’t want anything from AppData except certain files or subfolders.
