used for verification purposes. With this two-level security, the backup data is protected from any

unauthorized access, but recovering a lost password is not possible.

Source files exclusion

This option is effective for Windows and Linux operating systems and bootable media.

This option is effective for disk-level backup of NTFS and FAT file systems only. This option is effective

for file-level backup of all supported file systems.

The option defines which files and folders to skip during the backup process and thus exclude from

the list of backed-up items.

The preset is: Exclude files matching the following criteria: *.tmp, *.~, *.bak.

To specify which files and folders to exclude:

Set up any of the following parameters:

 Exclude all hidden files and folders

Select this check box to skip files and folders with the Hidden attribute. If a folder is Hidden, all of

its contents — including files that are not Hidden — will be excluded.

 Exclude all system files and folders

Select this check box to skip files and folders with the System attribute. If a folder is System, all of

its contents — including files that are not System — will be excluded.

You can view file or folder attributes in the file/folder properties or by using the attrib command. For more

information, refer to the Help and Support Center in Windows.

 Exclude files matching the following criteria

Select this check box to skip files whose names match any of the criteria — called file masks — in

the list; use the Add, Edit, Remove and Remove All buttons to create the list of file masks.

You can use one or more wildcard characters * and ? in a file mask:

The asterisk (*) substitutes for zero or more characters in a file name; for example, the file mask

Doc*.txt yields files such as Doc.txt and Document.txt

The question mark (?) substitutes for exactly one character in a file name; for example, the file

mask Doc?.txt yields files such as Doc1.txt and Docs.txt — but not the files Doc.txt or Doc11.txt

Exclusion examples

Criterion Example Description

By name File1.log Excludes all files named File1.log.

By path C:\Finance\test.log Excludes the file named test.log located in the folder

C:\Finance

Mask (*) *.log Excludes all files with the .log extension.

Mask (?) my???.log Excludes all .log files with names consisting of five symbols

and starting with “my”.

The above settings are not effective for the files or folders that were explicitly selected for backup. For example,

assume that you selected the folder MyFolder and the file MyFile.tmp outside that folder, and selected to skip

all .tmp files. In this case, all .tmp files in the folder MyFolder will be skipped during the backup process, but the

file MyFile.tmp will not be skipped.
