The top level of the remote may not be the top level of the drive.
E.g. for a Microsoft Windows local directory structure
F:
├── bkp
├── data
│ ├── excl
│ │ ├── 123.jpg
│ │ └── 456.jpg
│ ├── incl
│ │ └── document.pdf
To copy the contents of folder `data` into folder `bkp` excluding the contents of subfolder
`excl`the following command treats `F:\data` and `F:\bkp` as top level for filtering.
`rclone copy F:\data\ F:\bkp\ --exclude=/excl/**`
**Important** Use `/` in path/file name patterns and not `\` even if
running on Microsoft Windows.
