To specify an include and exclude for Windows clients

Important Note for Windows Clients: To perform integrated bare metal recovery or Windows instant recovery, boot and critical system volumes must be included in the backup. Do not use selection lists unless you are sure these volumes will be included. See Using selection lists with WIR and integrated BMR for details.

You can specify the files to include, then choose a subset of selected files to exclude when you run a one-time backup or when you create a backup schedule (Windows, agent 7.2 or higher). See To specify includes for full, differential, and incremental backups and To specify excludes.

If you create an include list and an exclude list, the include is applied first. The exclude is applied to define a subset of included files to omit.

Note: For examples, see Using selection lists.
