You can also apply custom filters, using the common masking rules. For example, to

exclude all files with extension .tib, add *.tib mask. My???.tib mask will reject all .tib

files with names consisting of five symbols and starting with “my”.

All of these settings will take effect for the current task. For information on how to set the

default filters that will be called each time you create a file backup task, see

5.3.2 Source

files exclusion.

5. Select the name and location of the archive.

If you are going to create a full backup, type the file name in the File Name line, or use

the file name generator (a button to the right of the line). If you select an existing full

backup, it will be overwritten.

Including [date] in the backup file name will add to the name the time and date of the

backup creation formatted as <DD-Month-YYYY HH:MM:SS>. Example:

C:\MyBackup[date].tib.

If you are going to create an incremental backup (see

3.2 Full, incremental and

differential backup

), select the latest full or incremental backup you have.

In fact, if all incremental backup files are stored together with the basic full backup, it

doesn't matter which one you select, as the program will recognize them as a single

archive. If you stored the files on several removable disks, you must provide the latest

archive file; otherwise, restoration problems might occur.

If you are going to create a differential backup, select the full backup which will be a

base, or any of the existing differential backups. Either way, the program will create a

new differential backup.
