How to change items to back up

Replacing a directly specified item with another directly specified item

Inside the <plan><targets><inclusions> section:

1. Delete the <ID> tag.

2. Edit the value of the <Path> tag , which contains information about data to back up; for

example, replace "C:" with "D:".

Replacing a directly specified item with a selection template

Inside the <plan><options><specific><inclusion_rules> section:

1. Add the <rules_type> tag with "disks" or "files" value, depending on the type of the

template you need.

2. Add the <rules> tag.

3. Inside the <rules> tag, add the <rule> with the required template. The template must

correspond to the directly specified item. For example, if the specified item has the "disks"

value, you can use the [SYSTEM], [BOOT] and [Fixed Volumes] templates; but you

cannot use the [All Files] or [All Profiles Folder] templates. For more

information about templates, see "Selection rules for volumes" and "Selection rules for files and

folders".

4. To add another template, repeat the step 3.
