Can't exclude uploads?

Hi there,

I’ve been trying to do a backup of a site where, unfortunately, the client has given many of the images very long names. These names are then throwing warnings that they can’t be saved correctly because they are too long.

Fair enough.

So I have excluded all images in the uploads directory from my backup job, but the images are still showing up and throwing warnings. This doesn’t make sense to me. Either 1) exclusion isn’t being taken into account, 2) file names are being considered/processed even though excluded.

Help?
thnx!
