Data Protector Express User's Guide (TC330-96002, October 2010)

By default, Data Protector Express backs up all volumes, folders and files that have been marked for the
job. Selection filters let you identify specific criteria for excluding one or more of these marked objects.
The filter criteria is applied when the job runs, in effect unmarking any objects that do not meet the
criteria. Selection filters are optional. If no selection filter is specified, all of the files and folder that have
been marked will be backed up per the job configuration settings. For further information, see the
Data Protector Express Technical Reference Guide.
Data Protector Express can be configured to include mapped drives during backup. By default they
are excluded. Once configured, these drives will appear on the Selection page of a job. For further
information, see the Data Protector Express Technical Reference Guide.
