the backup storage for sets of backups with different encryption settings. During recovery, you will
need to select the correct entry and type the correct password.

Notifications

Specify whether to send e-mail notifications after a successful backup, after a failed backup, or both.

Specify the address to send the notifications. Separate multiple e-mail addresses with a semicolon.
For example: [email protected]; [email protected]

The notifications will be sent from the e-mail address specified by a system administrator.

Exclusions

Type one or more criteria. Files and folders that match any of the specified criteria will not be backed
up.

This option is effective only for files and folders that are stored on the following file systems:



FAT



NTFS



Ext3



Ext4

Regardless of the file system, this option is not effective for volumes that are managed by Linux
Logical Volume Manager (LVM), also known as logical volumes; and for multiple-disk (MD) devices,
also known as Linux Software RAID.

How to specify criteria

You can use the following criteria:



The full path to a file or folder, starting with the drive letter (when backing up Windows) or the
root directory (when backing up Linux).
Both in Windows and Linux, you can use a forward slash in the file or folder path (for example:
C:/Temp and C:/Temp/File.tmp). In Windows, you can also use the traditional backslash (for
example: C:\Temp and C:\Temp\File.tmp).



The name of a file or folder; for example: Document.txt. All files and folders with that name will
be excluded.

Separate multiple criteria with a semicolon (;).

The criteria are not case-sensitive. For example, if you choose to exclude all .tmp files and the
C:\Temp folder, also excluded will be all .Tmp files, all .TMP files, and the C:\TEMP folder.

Wildcard characters

You can use one or more wildcard characters * and ? in a criterion. These characters can be used
within the full path and in the file or folder name.

The asterisk (*) substitutes for zero or more characters in a file name. For example, the criterion
Doc*.txt covers files such as Doc.txt and Document.txt.

The question mark (?) substitutes for exactly one character in a file name. For example, the criterion
Doc?.txt covers files such as Doc1.txt and Docs.txt, but not the files Doc.txt or Doc11.txt.
