To add a custom data category, click Add category. To change the default name of a custom
category, double-click the name and enter a new one. Select the data source (e.g. a folder) for the
new category by clicking the Browse... button. By default the new category will contain Only the
following file types, but you can apply filters to select the specific types of files that you wish or do
not wish to back up.
To set a filter, select its type: Only the following file types or All data except the following file types.
You can add file types for the selected filter by entering their extensions in the appropriate field one
at a time and then clicking Add.
The added file types appear in the window below.
3.5.2 Support for Zip format
If you use the zip format instead of the tib format, you will be able to retrieve files from backups
anywhere without True Image 2013.
For example, you can back up files to a USB stick at the office and retrieve those backed up files on
your notebook at home without installing True Image 2013. This is true because the most widely
used operating systems (Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X) have built-in support of the zip file
format.
Please note that built-in support of zip files in Windows does not cover operations with multivolume zip
archives, and zip backups exceeding 4GB in size or which contain files of more than 4GB each. So if file size of
your zip backup exceeds 4GB, you will not be able to recover files from that backup without using True Image
2013.
