Selecting Files for Backup

The Select Files screen (selected from the Navigation Panel) displays a Windows Explorer style view of all your drives and files. Select the drives, folders, application settings or files that you want to back up, by clicking on the box that is beside the drive, folder, or file. To remove a selection, click on the box to mark the folder or file as unchecked. Click on the sign to list the sub-folders.

You can set the Backup Job to exclude files automatically.  To specify the types of files to exclude from your backup, click on ‘Uncheck Extension’ and enter a file extension. When you decide to add a file-type back again to the Backup Job, click on ‘Include Extension’ and re-enter its extension. The default action is a box checked in green which signifies that all files and subfolders belonging to the selected directory have been marked for backup. However, a box checked grey green signifies that the selected directory structure is not complete and some files and subfolders have not been selected.
