How can I exclude certain file types (like .mp4, exe, etc.) from the synchronization or replication process between the Wasabi Cloud NAS client and the Wasabi Cloud?
The Wasabi Cloud NAS client provides options to exclude specific file types from policy-based replication. It is possible to exclude .vib, .vlm, or any other types of files from replication (and capacity management).
This applies to policy-based replication and does not apply to manual operations.
Open Regedit
Navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wasabi\tiger-bridge\tiersvc\settings.
Create a string value variable with the name “replication_filter:”, and data as “!:vib:vlm:”. The example shown here targets the files with the extension .vib and .vlm. Similarly, any other file types can be excluded by providing their extension as needed.
Once this registry string value pair has been created, restart the service using a Command Prompt in an elevated mode (as an Administrator): c:\net stop tiersvc and c:\net start tiersvc
