To add selection patterns to a Computer selection list

1        Click on the client to view the desired selection list. For details, see:

     To specify includes for the selective backup type

     To specify excludes

2        Enter the desired Selection Pattern and click Save to move it to the Selection List box.

     For include selection lists, only files matching the defined pattern are included in the backup. Patterns can be used for the selective backup type only. See Using wildcards in Computer selection lists for details.

Note: Selection patterns are not supported for include lists applied to full, differential, and incremental backups of Windows and Linux clients.

     For exclude selection lists, files matching the defined pattern are excluded from the backup.

     For excludes, wildcard symbols may be used in the selection pattern for most clients. (Wildcards are not supported for Linux, Unix, and CIFS/NFS NAS clients.) The * can be used to designate a group of unknown characters and the ? can be used for a single character substitution. For example, to add all .pst files to the list, type *.pst in the Selection Pattern box and click Add. See Using wildcards in Computer selection lists for details.
