Hello,
Thanks for your comments.
I think the best suggestion that I have seen for the name is (at least in the
current context):
Exclude Dirs Containing = .no_backup
That seems to me to be a very good name.
Concerning the placement of the directive: I think it is worth examining if we
can easily move it to the Exclude { } section. In that case, the directive
name could be
Exclude {
Dirs Containing = .no_backup
...
}
Best regards,
Kern
