Exclusions

Set up exclusions for the specific types of files you do not wish to back up. For example, you may not
want database, hidden and system files and folders, as well as files with specific extensions, to be
stored in the archive.
To specify which files and folders to exclude:
Set up any of the following parameters:

Exclude all hidden files and folders
Select this check box to skip files and folders with the Hidden attribute. If a folder is Hidden, all of
its contents — including files that are not Hidden — will be excluded.
 Exclude all system files and folders
Select this check box to skip files and folders with the System attribute. If a folder is System, all of
its contents — including files that are not System — will be excluded.
You can view file or folder attributes in the file/folder properties or by using the attrib command. For more
information, refer to the Help and Support Center in Windows.
 Exclude files matching the following criteria
Select this check box to skip files 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
