Backup Exclusion Issue: Specific Directories root drive

I’m having an issue with setting up exclusions in my backup configuration and would appreciate any assistance. My root directory for the backup is located at D:\ I want to exclude everything from the backup except for the following directories and their subdirectories: D:\Backup\OLD D:\Sys\Docs D:\Data\bd There are multiple files and folders at the root of D:\, as well as within subdirectories, that I want to exclude. For example, I want to exclude files like D:\Backup\list.txt and folders …

At the end it is just about using right exclusion/inclusion patterns.
