User guide

Type this parameter to skip files and folders that have the Hidden attribute (for file systems that are

supported by Windows) or that start with a period (.) (for file systems in Linux such as Ext2 and Ext3).

If a folder is hidden, all of its contents (including files that are not hidden) will be excluded.

Microsoft Exchange Server data backups

The following four parameters are used with the backup exchange_mailbox (p. 33) command.

exclude_age

--exclude_age=<date>

If the parameter is set, the software will exclude all items created before the specified date and time.

The value format is "DD.MM.YYYY HH24:MM". You cannot omit any part of the date.

Without this parameter, items with any creation date and time will be backed up.

exclude_attach

--exclude_attach=<files and masks>

If the parameter is set, the software will exclude all attachments whose names match the specified

values. You can use one or more wildcard characters * and ? in a file mask.

Example:

--exclude_attach=Vid*.avi,App?.exe,*.mp3

Without this parameter, all attachments will be backed up.

exclude_size

--exclude_size=<size>{kb|mb|gb}

If the parameter is set, the software will exclude all attachments larger than the specified value. If no

measurement unit is specified, the size is measured in megabytes (mb).

Without this parameter, items with any size will be backed up.

exclude_types

--exclude_types=<types>

If the parameter is set, the software will exclude all items of the specified type. You can specify one

or more of the following values: deleted ("Deleted Items" folders will be excluded), sent ("Sent

Items" folders will be excluded), or junk ("Junk E-mail" folders will be excluded).

Example:

--exclude_types=deleted,junk

Without this parameter, items of any type will be backed up.

3.6.7 express

--express

The parameter is used with the backup exchange_database (p. 32) command. If specified, the

backup will be created by using the express full backup method. Compared to regular full database

backups, the express full backups are created much faster and occupy less space.
