Blacklist Files You Don’t Want Backed Up — Easily and Safely

You’re Not the Tool — You Use It

Many backup tools sync everything, whether you like it or not. Not SquirrelBak.

You decide which files get backed up. And just as important — you decide which ones don’t.

Blacklist Any File or Folder

SquirrelBak lets you exclude specific files or folders from backup — like temporary files, logs, or sensitive work documents.

For example, you can blacklist:

  • /Downloads/*.tmp - skip temporary files
  • /Projects/Drafts - exclude unfinished work
  • *.log - ignore system logs

These files stay on your machine but are never copied.

No Forced Sync

Unlike cloud tools that sync everything by default, SquirrelBak respects your choices.

If a file is blacklisted, it’s never sent over the network. No traces. No logs. No copies.

🔐 Your data, your rules. SquirrelBak doesn’t override you — it follows you.

Coming Soon: Simple UI

Right now, blacklisting is done via a simple config file (easy to edit).

A future update will add a clean interface so you can right-click any folder and say: “Don’t back this up.”

Take Control of Your Backup

No forced sync. No surprises. Just your files, your way.
