Filters Specifying Filter Options You can access the filter options from the Backup Manager, Restore Manager, Copy, Count, Scan, Compare, and Purge Utility windows. Exclude Exclusions always take precedence over inclusions. For example, if you add a filter to include files that have an .exe extension, and you add another filter to exclude your \SYSTEM directory, all .exe files in the \SYSTEM directory are excluded. Include Results contain only those files that satisfy the filter specifications. For example, suppose you selected to back up your entire local hard drive, and you then set up a filter to include files in the \SYSTEM directory. The result would be that BrightStor ARCserve Backup would only back up files from your \SYSTEM directory. No other files would be backed up. Types of Filters Filters are available which enable you to include and exclude files to suit your needs. For details about how to apply filters, see the online help.
