Including/Excluding Files and Directories

Online Backup uses the following order of precedence for including and excluding files and directories. The lower the number, the higher the priority. These include/exclude priorities apply to any combination of the two methods of including/excluding files and directories:

  • Directory and file selection using the explorer tree on the Schedules page.
  • Selections made to user profiles in the Backup Profiles page.
