Example 2:
If you want to backup all files, excluding all *.exe, *.dll and *.tmp, in C:\Applications, you should setup your
backup filter as follows.

Apply To = File (true)
Matching Type = End With
Matching Patterns = *.exe,*.dll, *.tmp
Filter Mode
= Exclude
Include all others = True
Example 3:
If you have made your selection of files (all under C:\) from the backup source setting but you want exclude all
images (e.g. *.jpg and *.gif) from your selection, you should setup your backup filter as follows.
Top Directory = C:\
Apply To = File (true)
Matching Type = End With
Matching Patterns = *.jpg, *.gif
Filter Mode
= Exclude
Include all others = false
Please note that the [Include all others] setting is not enabled because you don’t want to include all other files
(NOT *.jpg, *.gif) under C:\ into the backup set.
Example 4: (advanced)
If you want to include everything, except the “log” directory, under C:\Applications into a backup set, you should
setup your backup filter as follows.
Top Directory = C:\Applications
Apply To = Directory (true)
Matching Type = Regular Expression
Matching Patterns = ^log$
Filter Mode
= Exclude
Include all others = True
Example 5: (advanced)
If you want to include all directories named “log” from the backup set files with file name starting with “B” and
ending with “*.doc” under C:\My Documents into the backup set, you can use a regular expression of
“^B.*\.doc$” to do your selection. The filter backup can then be setup as follows.
Top Directory = C:\My Documents
Apply To = File (true)
Matching Type = Regular Expression
Matching Patterns = ^B.*\.doc$
Filter Mode
= Include
Exclude all others = True
5.6 Pre/Post-Backup Command
The “Command Line Tool” feature has two major components, the [Pre-Backup] command and the [Post-Backup]
command. You can use the [Pre-Backup] or [Post-Backup] commands to run any native OS (operating system)
commands before or after running a backup job.
