Backup; Settings; Exceptions - AVIRA INTERNET SECURITY 2012 User Manual

12.4 Backup

You can configure the Avira Backup feature under Configuration > Local protection >
Backup. (Options available in expert mode only.)

12.4.1 Settings

In Settings you can configure the behavior of the Backup component.
Backup modified files only
If this option is enabled, an incremental backup is created: Only files that have been
modified since the last backup are saved in the backup profile. If this option is
disabled, a full backup is created for each saved backup profile: All files are saved in
the backup profile. This option is enabled as the default setting and is recommended
as incremental backups can be created more quickly and are less resource-heavy
than full data backups.
Scan for viruses and unwanted programs before backup
If this option is enabled, the files being saved are scanned for viruses and malware
during the backup. Infected files are not saved. This option is enabled as the default
setting and is recommended.

12.4.2 Exceptions

Under Exceptions you can specify which file objects and file types are saved and which
are not saved in the backup.
Skipped files from the backup
The list in this window contains the files and paths which are not saved in the backup.
Note
The entries in the list must not result in more than 6000 characters in total.
Note
The files included in this list are recorded in the
Input box
Enter the names of the file objects that are not to be saved in this box. The path for the
temporary directory for the local settings of the logged-in user is entered as default.
