Exclude Files and File Types from Select Folders
To exclude files and file types from being backed up from folders that have been selected for backup,
follow the steps listed below.
1. On the Laptop Backup Content tab, under Folders, select one of the folders from which you want
to exclude files and file types during backup.
2. Under Exclude Files, enter the files and file formats that you want to exclude during backup.
If you want files of only certain formats to be excluded, select the file types. For example,
if you do not want image files to be backed up, select Image files. File extensions of
various image formats like PSD, JPG, PNG, and so on appear in the text box. If you do not
want PSD files to be included in the exclusion list, remove *.PSD from the text box.
If you want to exclude just some specific files, or files of formats not available on the user
interface, type the file name and extension in the text box. For example, if you want to
exclude all XML files and the document nonessential.pdf from the folder,
type *.xml;nonessential.pdf in the text box. Entries in the text box must be separated
using semicolon (;). There should not be any space between two consecutive entries.
3. To exclude files and file types from other folders, repeat steps 1 and 2.
