Web GUI - Mac problems include/exclude patterns

I am a new user of duplicacy and have installed the web GUI version on my Mac.
I created a backup and included the directory +Matthias/Bildverwaltung/* using include/exclude patterns.

The backup storage is located on a Synology NAS.

The backup failed with this log.

+Matthias/* as include/exclude patterns is working

What am I doing wrong?

  1. Read this: Include Exclude Patterns · gilbertchen/duplicacy Wiki · GitHub, your issue is described in section 1.
  2. Change your patterns to:
    +Matthias/
    +Matthias/Bildverwaltung/*
    

On macOS you don’t really need to define patterns — Time Machine exclusions are on by default
