Exclusion examples
Criterion Example Description
By name File1.log Excludes all files named File1.log.
By path C:\Finance\test.log Excludes the file named test.log located in the folder
C:\Finance
Mask (*) *.log Excludes all files with the .log extension.
Mask (?) my???.log Excludes all .log files with names consisting of five symbols
and starting with “my”.
The above settings are not effective for the files or folders that were explicitly selected for recovery.
For example, assume that you selected the folder MyFolder and the file MyFile.tmp outside that
folder, and selected to skip all .tmp files. In this case, all .tmp files in the folder MyFolder will be
skipped during the recovery process, but the file MyFile.tmp will not be skipped.
Overwriting
Choose what to do if the program finds in the target folder a file with the same name as in the
archive:
 Overwrite existing file - this will give the file in the backup priority over the file on the hard disk.
 Overwrite existing file if it is older - this will give priority to the most recent file modification,
whether it be in the backup or on the disk.
 Do not overwrite existing file - this will give the file on the hard disk priority over the file in the
backup.
If you allow files to be overwritten, you still have an option to prevent overwriting of specific files by
excluding (p. 221) them from the recovery operation.
