The button opens a window in which you can select the required file or the required
path.
You can isolate a particular file from the backup if you have the full name and path of
the file. If you have entered a file name or path, every file with this name (irrespective
of the path or drive) is not saved.
Add
With this button, you can add the file object entered in the input box to the display
window.
Delete
The button deletes a selected entry from the list. This button is inactive if no entry is
selected.
Reset list
This button restores the predefined default values.
Please observe the following points:
The file name can only contain the wildcards * (any number of characters) and ? (a
single character).
The list is processed from top to bottom.
If a directory is excluded, all its sub-directories are automatically also excluded.
Individual file extensions can also be excluded (including wildcards).
In order to also exclude objects when they are accessed with short DOS file names
(DOS name convention 8.3), the relevant short file name must also be entered in the
list.
Note
A file name that contains wildcards may not be terminated with a backslash. For
example:
C:\Program Files\Application\applic*.exe\
This entry is not valid and not treated as an exception!
Examples:
application.exe
\Program Files\
C:\*.*
C:\*
*.exe
*.xl?
*.*
