How can we improve Azure Backup?

← Azure Backup

Make It Easier to Add Exclusions

Suppose I was backing up drives C:, D:, E: and F: and I wanted to add exclusions for file types .flv, .mov, .mp3, .pst and .tmp. In the job configuration I have to manually add:
C: - .flv
C: - .mov
C: - .mp3
C: - .pst
C: - .tmp
D: - .flv
D: - .mov
D: - .mp3
D: - .pst
D: - .tmp
E: - .flv
etc. etc.
F: - .tmp

Please add the option for global excludes across all drives!
