Managing file types
When you define a file and folder backup, file types are a quick way to include
files you use the most. For example, if you keep music files on your computer, you
can configure a file and folder backup to include all music files (for example, .mp3,
.wav).
The most common file types and extensions are already defined for you. But you
can define additional file type categories as needed, and then edit them at any
time. For example, if you install a new program that requires the use of two new
file extensions (.pft and .ptp, for example), you can define a new file type and
define the two file extensions for that category. Then when you define a file and
folder backup, you can select the new category. When the backup is run, all files
ending with .pft and .ptp are backed up.
