How to exclude folders when restoring from GUI?

Support
#1

Currently attempting to restore a 450GB backup when it stops 50GB into it with the error:

ERROR RESTORE_SYMLINK Can't create symlink 
.local/share/feral-interactive/XCOM 2 WotC/VFS/Local/mods_lowercase/268500_lowered/1134256495/src/xcomgame/classes/xgplayer.uc: symlink 
/media/boss/C0CAA403CAA3F3B6/1SanDiskWin10 Steam Linux/steamapps/workshop/content/268500/1134256495/Src/XComGame/Classes/XGPlayer.uc 
/media/boss/500HDD1/1DUPLICACY-TEST/.local/share/feral-interactive/XCOM 2 WotC/VFS/Local/mods_lowercase/268500_lowered/1134256495/src/xcomgame/classes/xgplayer.uc: input/output error

Okay simple enough, I just need to exclude .local/share/feral-interactive/XCOM 2 WotC/VFS/Local/mods_lowercase/268500_lowered/1134256495/src/xcomgame/classes/

However I’ve tried multiple ways of excluding this folder via the Options box in the Restore GUI but none seem to work.

-.local/share/feral-interactive/XCOM 2 WotC/VFS/Local/mods_lowercase/268500_lowered/1134256495/src/xcomgame/classes/?*
Invalid

-- -.local/share/feral-interactive/XCOM 2 WotC/VFS/Local/mods_lowercase/268500_lowered/1134256495/src/xcomgame/classes/?*
Same ERROR RESTORE_SYMLINK.

"-.local/share/feral-interactive/XCOM 2 WotC/VFS/Local/mods_lowercase/268500_lowered/1134256495/src/xcomgame/classes/?*"
“All files to be restored are up-to-date” despite the rest of the 400GB restore not being completed.

"-.local/share/feral-interactive/XCOM 2 WotC/VFS/Local/mods_lowercase/268500_lowered/1134256495/src/xcomgame/classes/?*" "+*"
“All files to be restored are up-to-date” issue again.

What’s the correct way I can enter it into the Options section?

Try entering this as the option:

-- -local/share/feral-interactive/XCOM*2*WotC/VFS/Local/mods_lowercase/268500_lowered/1134256495/src/xcomgame/classes/*

-- at the beginning indicates that the rest is patterns, not options. And replace spaces with *.

Still getting an error with that:
The restore command encountered an error: Can't create symlink .local/share/feral-interactive/XCOM 2 WotC/VFS/Local/mods_lowercase/268500_lowered/1134256495/src/xcomgame/classes/xgplayer.uc: symlink /media/boss/C0CAA403CAA3F3B6/1SanDiskWin10 Steam Linux/steamapps/workshop/content/268500/1134256495/Src/XComGame/Classes/XGPlayer.uc /media/boss/500HDD1/1DUPLICACY-TEST/.local/share/feral-interactive/XCOM 2 WotC/VFS/Local/mods_lowercase/268500_lowered/1134256495/src/xcomgame/classes/xgplayer.uc: input/output error

Exit code: 100

Also tried it with -- -.local/share/ etc and still the same.

#4

Can you try -- -.local/share/*?

#5

That works, as does -- -.local/share/feral-interactive/*. I’ll drill down more later to see exactly where the problem is, thanks for the help!

#6

Ugh I keep getting folders which have errors and stop my restore. It’s taking way too long to exclude each of them. Is there a way to do a restore and just ignore all the errors?
