Hello! Just doing my first steps with Backupper Pro and OneDrive... Had no problem at all to do a full backup on my cloud drive... Question is now what about the ONEDRIVE folder at drive C: - means if I do an full backup of drive C: it will backup the ONEDRIVE folder, in which my last backup is stored, also... so the next backup includes the backupper files... how can I exclude the backupper files from backup?

    Well, cannot exclude files or folders in System/Disk Backup at present.

    Like SIW2 says, try registry setting:

    Don't know about the pro version but in the standard (free) version one can also exclude files and folders through registry settings, if you wish, including a drive letter.

    This works for system, disk, partition and file backups.

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\BackupRestore\FilesNotToSnapshot

    Try adding some files and folders to the FilesNotToSnapshot registry entry. And yes Aomei respects those entries. So that is a convenient way to exclude files from the backup. 

    e.g. 

    f:\nb1\nb1.txt

    f:\nb2\*.* /s
