ACRONIS BACKUP AND RECOVERY 10 SERVER FOR WINDOWS - UPDATE 3 User Manual page 54

Select this check box to skip files and folders whose names match any of the criteria — called file
masks — in the list; use the Add, Edit, Remove and Remove All buttons to create the list of file
masks.
You can use one or more wildcard characters * and ? in a file mask:
The asterisk (*) substitutes for zero or more characters in a file name; for example, the file mask
Doc*.txt yields files such as Doc.txt and Document.txt
The question mark (?) substitutes for exactly one character in a file name; for example, the file
mask Doc?.txt yields files such as Doc1.txt and Docs.txt — but not the files Doc.txt or Doc11.txt
To exclude a folder specified by a path containing the drive letter, add a backslash (\) to the folder
name in the criterion; for example: C:\Finance\
Exclusion examples
Criterion Example
By name F.log
F
By mask (*) *.log
F*
By mask (?) F???.log
By file path C:\Finance\F.log
By folder path C:\Finance\F\
By file path /home/user/Finance/F.log
By folder path /home/user/Finance/
The above settings are not effective for the files or folders that were explicitly selected for backup. For example,
assume that you selected the folder MyFolder and the file MyFile.tmp outside that folder, and selected to skip
all .tmp files. In this case, all .tmp files in the folder MyFolder will be skipped during the backup process, but the
file MyFile.tmp will not be skipped.
3.3.1.3 Pre/Post commands
This option is effective for Windows and Linux operating systems and PE-based bootable media.
The option enables you to define the commands to be automatically executed before and after the
backup procedure.
The following scheme illustrates when pre/post commands are executed.
