how to exclude *.tar.gz from duplicity backup?

Searched for about an hour, but I can't find example on the net of how to exclude all tar.gz files from my Duplicity backup.

thanks in advance if you have the answer

 

I ran

find -name *.tar.gz

to get a list of all of them, then saved that as a text file and put this in the duplicity command line:

--exclude-filelist /disk2/backups/targzlist.txt

which works, but I'm still thinking there must be a way to exclude all of a certain file type such as tar.gz

 

Bumping to see if anyone knows of a new and easier way to do this now.

 

Remember to add it before your --include

--exclude **\*.tar.bz2

in your case:

--exclude **\*.tar.gz
