Must Match Data Protector Express lets you use wildcard matches to include files. Only files that match
the wildcard indicated in the Must match field are included in the backup set.
For example, if you enter *.exe , Data Protector Express will only back up those files with the .exe file
extension.
You can specify multiple wildcards by separating each with a semicolon (no spaces).
For example, if you enter *.exe;*.doc in the Must match field, Data Protector Express selects all files that
have either the .exe extension or the .doc extension.
Cannot Match This wildcard field works just like the Must match field except that it excludes any files
that match the wildcards. You can specify multiple wildcards by separating them with a semicolon (no
spaces); if you specify multiple wildcards, Data Protector Express excludes any file that matches any one
of the wildcards you specify.
Required Attributes Operating systems track certain features of files called attributes that they use to
manage these files. You can use these same attributes as a selection filter. In the Required attributes field,
if an attribute is checked, Data Protector Express only selects those files which have these attributes.
For example, if you check Hidden, Data Protector Express only selects those files which the operating system
has assigned the Hidden attribute.
You can select multiple attributes. With this filter applied, Data Protector Express only selects those files
that meet all of the required attributes.
NOTE:
Some of these attributes are only supported by certain operating systems. If you specify an attribute
that is specific to a particular operating system, then only files created under that operating system will
be selected for backup.
Exclude Attributes This field works like the Required attributes field except that Data Protector Express
excludes files that match these attributes.
For example, if you have checked the Execute Only box, Data Protector Express will exclude from the backup
job any files with the Execute Only attribute.
You can select multiple attributes. A file that has any one of these attributes will be excluded.
For example, if you mark the Hidden and System attributes, any file that has either attribute will be excluded.
