You can include both file categories and individual files and folders.
When selecting the file category(ies) to back up, you can include the following default categories:
Documents, Finance, Images, Video, and Music. Each category represents all files of associated types
found on the computer's hard drives. Furthermore, you can add any number of custom categories
containing files and folders. The new categories will be saved and displayed along with the above.
You can change the contents of any custom or default file category (edit the category) or delete it.
The default file categories cannot be deleted.
For more information on custom categories see Creating a custom data category (p. 14). If you do not
want to keep the custom contents of the current backup by creating a data category, simply select
the files/folders from the tree in the Folders pane.
 To include an entire folder, select the folder's check box in the folders pane.
 To include particular items in a folder, click the folder's name in the folders pane, and then select
the items' check boxes in the folder contents pane.
Excluding items
File filtering can be applied to manually added folders by specifying which files to exclude from
backup. For more information see Excluding items from online backup (p. 14).
Having finished selection of items to include and exclude, click the Back Up Now button to start
online backup immediately, otherwise click the Save and Close button to save the selection for
backing up later or on schedule.
You can also cancel the selection by clicking Cancel.
