5.3.5.2 Excluding items from online backup

Excluding unnecessary files from online backup may be useful as the data transfer rate and available

storage space are limited.

To exclude files, click the corresponding link at the bottom of the What to back up window.

You can exclude hidden and system files from online backup by selecting the corresponding check

boxes.

In addition, you can exclude files meeting the criteria you specify. To do this, select the Files

matching the following criteria check box, enter the exclusion criterion, and then click Add.

By default, the program excludes from backups files with the following extensions: .~, .tmp, and .tib.

You can enter explicit file names for exclusion from the backup:

file.ext - all such files will be excluded from the backup.

C:\file.ext- the file.ext file on the C: disk will be excluded.

You can also use wildcards:

*.ext - all files with a .ext extension will be excluded.

C:\*.ext - files located in the root of partition C with a .ext extension will be excluded.

f_name.* - files with any extension and named f_name will be excluded.

??name.ext - all files with a .ext extension, having six letters in their names (starting with any two

symbols (??) and ending with name), will be excluded.
