Hi!

I got a particular setup with a VM that has two attached disks to exclude some files from being backed up.

scsi0 is the OS, scsi1 should be backuped. and scsi2 not.

In the client OS I have created zfs pools to be able to easily enforce some quotas for sub-datastores - one zfs pool for each disk:

In my thinking this should exclude all files on datastore-nobackup from being backuped to PBS.

I did, however, a fresh install of a new PBS instance today and the used space on the backup datastore after one initial backup can only be explained by the size of both disks together (the nobackup is filled with 500+ GB and backup is just around 100 GB - so the difference is obvious).

How can I exclude this disk from being backed up?
