About Enterprise selection lists

Selection lists define items to include or exclude from the backup. Before running a backup or setting up a schedule, create or edit selection lists for the protected clients.

An Enterprise selection list can be created for an individual client or can be applied to a group of clients. For example, an exclude selection list can be created and applied to all Windows clients. The list of files to exclude from the backup (such as .pst or .tmp files) is identified in the exclusion list.

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.
