Problem/Motivation

At /admin/config/development/backup_migrate/settings/edit/standard in the "Exclude files from..." section it would be great, if the functionality and syntax of the textarea could be extended to be clearer.

Values are by default:

backup_migrate
sync
js
css
php
styles
config_*
.htaccess

But the description currently doesn't tell how the matiching works and how /if the special characters should be used.
For example I'm not sure how to exclude directories, file names or file suffixes correctly.

I think the explanation should be inline below the textarea fields (#description).

Thanks for details!
