Resources

Allows you to include or exclude files from a backup of a different drive than the one you selected previously on the Backup Job Properties dialog box.

Path

Specifies the name of the folder and/or subfolder that contains any specific file you want to include or exclude.

You can use wildcard characters. use a question mark (?) to represent any single character. Use two asterisks (**) to represent any number of characters.

For example, on your C: drive you have a My Documents folder that contains a subfolder called Work Files. There are three Work Files subfolders called 1999, 2000, and 2001. Each one of those subfolders has a subfolder called Personnel.

In addition, every subfolder below the ** wildcard is included or excluded. However, the only files from the subfolders that are included or excluded are those that match the file name you type in the File field. So in the example above, every subfolder of C:\My Documents is included in or excluded from the backup, and only the files that match the file name you type in the File field are included or excluded.

After you type the path, type the file name in the File field.

File
