Step 2: Specify Backup Set

In the second step of the New Task Wizard you need to select files and folders to back up. This step is similar to Step 2 in Standard mode, but allows setting up additional conditions for files selection.

1. Click Add to open the shortcut menu. The list of available for backup items will appear.


2. Select the item that you want to add to the backup set. It will appear in the Backup Set box.


3. Specify include and exclude masks to select files to be included in the backup set.

You may enter full file names separated by a semicolon, or/and specify masks indicating groups of files. The rules for masks are the following:



• Use the asterisk symbol "*" to replace a set of characters.


• Use a question mark "?" to replace a single character.



For instance, "*.exe" stands for files with the "exe" extension only; "*.*" will add all files. The application has an explicit preset to add excluding mask for common temporary extensions.



• If you want to add excluding mask for common temporary extensions, click Add default temporary extensions.


• To make masks relevant for folders, check Apply these masks to folders as well as to files.


4. When finished, click Next.
