3.7.8 exclude
--exclude=<files, folders and masks>
Files and folders to be excluded from the recovery. You can either specify files and folders explicitly
or use wildcard characters.
Note: Exclusions override selection of data items to recover. For example, if you select to recover file MyFile.tmp
and to exclude all .tmp files, file MyFile.tmp will not be recovered.
Specify the name of the file or folder, such as Document.txt.
The names are not case-sensitive, both in Windows and Linux. For example, if you choose to exclude
all .tmp files and the Temp folders, also excluded will be all .Tmp files, all .TMP files, and the TEMP
folders.
You can use one or more wildcard characters * and ?:
The asterisk (*) substitutes for zero or more characters. For example, Doc*.txt covers files such
as Doc.txt and Document.txt.
The question mark (?) substitutes for exactly one character. For example, Doc?.txt covers files
such as Doc1.txt and Docs.txt, but not the files Doc.txt or Doc11.txt.

3.7.9 ext2_3
--ext2_3
If the parameter is specified, the file system will be converted from Ext2 to Ext3. The parameter is
used with the recover disk (p. 20) and recover vm (p. 29) commands. Without this parameter,
the recovered volume will inherit the file system from the backup.
3.7.10 fat16_32
--fat16_32
If the parameter is specified, the file system will be converted from FAT16 to FAT32. The parameter is
used with the recover disk (p. 20) and recover vm (p. 29) commands. Without this parameter,
the recovered volume will inherit the file system from the backup.
It is recommended to use the parameter if the volume size after recovery is likely to exceed 2 GB.
