Exclude folder from Pycharms duplicate check

Question

Q: How do I exclude a folder from pycharm's duplicate check?

Say my pycharm project folder structure looks like this:

project/main.py
project/.backup/main_copy.py

How do I tell pycharm not to warn me that main.py and main_copy.py contain duplicate code?

Is the following link helpful: [Is it possible to disable duplicate code detection in Intellij?](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/36627002/is-it-possible-to-disable-duplicate-code-detection-in-intellij) — Shmn, Oct 22 '20 at 14:49
@Shmn unfortunately not. I only want to exclude the folder not disable duplicate checks — Lukas S, Oct 22 '20 at 14:58
Does right-clicking on .backup and marking it as excluded help? — user2235698, Oct 27 '20 at 16:57

Try to mark .backup as excluded via right-click on it -> Mark Directory as.
