Rules name a sensitive location made specific by a qualifier or by where it sits, or a spreadsheet by its full path.

Consequence. A bare "/backup" is in every scanner wordlist; "/backup-2023/" is in none. Listing it advertises the location to the readers least likely to honour the rule.

If that is not intended. Put these locations behind authentication or remove them; once they are protected, the line can stay or go. Responses behind authentication are not indexed, so they need no "noindex". Content that is public by design and only has to stay out of search wants a "noindex" without the Disallow: a crawler only sees a noindex on a page it may fetch.

• Disallow: /_privateL7"private" with a qualifier
• Disallow: /TemplatePackage/4.0/gallery-internalL31"internal" with a qualifier
• Disallow: /templatepackage/4.0/gallery-internalL42"internal" with a qualifier
