Howdy -- you appear to be experiencing a configuration issue there.

We can go over how to exclude files, but it appears that you're using Virtualmin GPL there, so the best place to do that would be over in the Forums (which can be accessed using the Forums link above).

Note though that you can also look up the help text for that particular option for examples of it's usage.

Thanks!

You need to enter paths relative to the home directory, so files instead of /home/domain.com/files
