Pattern Matching It defines the filtering rules of a filter. A filtering rule can be of one of the
following types:

with a certain pattern.
For example: You can use B* to match all files with
name starting with a ‘B’ character

Include/Exclude all files/directories with name ending
with a certain pattern.
For example: You can use *.doc to match all files with
name ending with ‘.doc’ (all Word documents)
[Regular Expression] Include/Exclude all files/directories with name matching
a regular expression.
Filter Mode Defines whether you want to include or exclude matched files into/from the
backup set. Also, for those unmatched files, you can choose to exclude (if
include filter type) or include (if exclude filter type) them into/from the backup
set.

Documents), you should setup your backup filter as follows.
Top Directory = C:\My Documents
Apply To = File (true)
Matching Type = End With
