Adding a User-Defined Inclusion Filter
Inclusion filters create a subset of files to include for protection.
Procedure
1 In the Data: File Filters pane, click Add Inclusion Filter to display the Add Inclusion Filter dialog.
2 Type the complete path and pattern, specify a pattern containing wildcards, or click Browse to locate the
file or folder.
3 Click OK.
Note There are two forms of wildcards available, * which matches all files in the folder and **, which
matches all files, subfolders, and the files in the subfolders of the folder. After defining the filter, you can
add additional Inclusion Filters.
Adding a User-Defined Exclusion Filter
Exclusion filters create a subset of an Inclusion Filter to specify items to exclude from protection.
Procedure
1 In the Data: File Filters pane, click Add Exclusion Filter to display the Add Exclusion Filter dialog.
2 Type the complete path and pattern, specify a pattern containing wildcards, or click Browse to locate the
file or folder.
3 Click OK.
Note There are two forms of wildcards available, * which matches all files in the folder and **, which
matches all files, subfolders and the files in the subfolders of the folder.
Editing User Defined Inclusion/Exclusion Filters
Existing Inclusion and Exclusion Filters can be edited using the procedure below.
Procedure
1 Selecting the filter on the Data: File Filters page.
2 Click Edit at the top of the File Filters pane or right-click the filter and select Edit from the menu. Edit the
value in the Pattern: text box by typing over the current file filter definition.
3 Click OK.
Determining Effective Filters
An Effective Filter is the result of the remainder of files and folders stipulated in the Inclusion Filter after removing
the files and folders in the Exclusion Filter. Filters are compared with each other, and if one filter is a superset
of another, the superset filter is used.This allows, for example, file servers with thousands of individual shares
requested by a plug-in to use a single, more general, user configured filter.
Example: (Inclusion filter) - (Exclusion filter) = Effective filter
