If you do not want all data from a client to be included in its backups, you can use selection lists to specify which data the backups include or exclude by directory path, file name, and file type. You can use selection lists for all of a client’s backups by applying exclusion (all clients) and inclusion (Windows clients only) lists to full, differential, and incremental backups. You can also use the selective backup type, which does not belong to a backup group, to apply an inclusion list to an individual backup. (For an explanation of backup groups, see Backup groups.)
See the following topics for details about using selection lists:
• Using selection lists with full, differential, and incremental backups
• Using selection lists with the selective backup type
• Using Enterprise-level selection lists
• Using client-level selection lists
For instructions on creating selection lists for individual clients and multiple clients, see the following:
