170 McAfee Internet Security Setting archive options Before you start archiving your data, you must set some local archive options. For example, you must set up the watch locations and watch file types. Watch locations are the folders on your computer that Data Backup monitors for new files or file changes. Watch file types are the types of files (for example, .doc, .xls, and so on) that Data Backup archives within the watch locations. By default, Data Backup watches all file types stored in your watch locations. You can set up two types of watch locations: deep watch locations and shallow watch locations. If you set up a deep watch location, Data Backup archives the watch file types within that folder and its subfolders. If you set up a shallow watch location, Data Backup archives the watch file types within that folder only (not its subfolders).You can also identify locations that you want to exclude from the local archive. By default, the Windows Desktop and My Documents locations are set up as deep watch locations. After you set up your watch file types and locations, you must set up the archive location (that is, the CD, DVD, USB drive, external hard drive, or network drive where archived data will be stored). You can change the archive location at any time. For security reasons or size issues, encryption or compression are enabled by default for your archived files. The content of encrypted files is transformed from text to code, obscuring the information to make it unreadable by people who do not know how to decrypt it. Compressed files are compressed into a form that minimizes the space required to store or transmit it. Although McAfee does not recommend doing so, you can disable encryption or compression at any time. Include a location in the archive You can set two types of watch locations for archiving: deep and shallow. If you set a deep watch location, Data Backup monitors the contents of the folder and its subfolders for changes. If you set a shallow watch location, Data Backup monitors the contents of folder only (not its subfolders). To include a location in the archive: 1 Click the Local Archive tab. 2 In the left pane, click Settings. 3 In the Local Archive Settings dialog box, click Watch Locations. 4 Do one of the following: To archive the contents of a folder, including the contents of its subfolders, click Add Folder under Deep Watch Locations.
