Virtual hard drive - is it possible to exclude a subfolder

Help & Support
1

I've created a virtual hard drive and dragged the main folder (parent) onto it.

Is it possible to exclude a sub-folder (child) from the main folder on the virtual hard drive?

Do you mean you want to hide a folder from being displayed when viewing a particular drive?

I drag the parent folder's contents to Nero Burning ROM to back up the data.

Currently, I have to delete the unwanted folders (there's several of them) from Nero.

I'd like to have exclude these unwanted folder from being included in the VHD.

Hope that makes sense.

You could use Tools > Find Files to find only the folders you want, or select-all and then manually deselect the unwanted folders before dragging...

With more detail I might be able to help more. Could you give an example of the folders that are included, and the ones you want to filter out?

Maybe this will help:

Mail (parent)
saved (child)
2018 (grandchild - not sure of the proper name)
2017
2016

Currently, I've dragged the "mail" folder to the VHD and all the sub-folders are included.

I'd like to be able to drag the "mail" folder but exclude the 2017 and 2016 sub-folders...either when dragged onto the VHD or onto Nero.

P.S. I have about 20 sub-folder needed to be excluded.

So you want to keep the parent folder (not just have "2018" at the top level) but exclude some of its children?

That isn't possible with drag & drop, at least not if Nero will interpret "Mail" being included in the list of folders as meaning that Mail and everything below it should be included, which is the norm. That type of filtering would have to be done within Nero rather than Opus.

I was afraid of that....I guess I'll just manually delete the unwanted folder.

Thanks for responding.
