Files to back up selection rules

Define file selection rules, according to which the files and (or) folders will be backed up on the
machines the policy will be applied to.
To define file selection rules
In the first line, select the rule from the list, or type it manually. To add another rule, click the next
empty line, and select the rule from the list, or type it manually.
The program remembers the rules typed manually, and the next time you open the window, these
rules will be available for selection in the list along with the default ones.
Windows
Full path
Point to the folders and files to be backed up. If you specified a path to a file or folder explicitly, the
policy will back up this item on each machine where this exact path will be found.
To include
File Text.doc in folder
D:\Work
Folder C:\Windows
Environment variables
Some environment variables point to Windows folders. Using such variables instead of full folder and
file paths ensures that proper Windows folders are backed up regardless of where Windows is
located on a particular machine.
To include
Program Files folder
Windows folder
Common data for all user
profiles
You can use other environment variables or a combination of environment variables and text. For
example, to refer to the Acronis folder in the machines' Program Files folder, type:
%PROGRAMFILES%\Acronis
Copyright © Acronis, Inc., 2000-2010
In the Files and folders
column, type or select:

column, type or select
