31 – 718 Using WaveLab for backup
If you use the “Exclude: All files” option, this automatically applies to all
subfolders (for which no separate filters are defined).
In other words, when “Exclude: All files” is used, the “Also applies to subfolders” option is
automatically activated.
If you define a filter for a folder, any “inherited” filter from a parent folder is
automatically overridden (both for that folder and for its subfolders).
The symbols in the directory view
When you specify the backup filters in the lists to the right, you will notice
that the folders will be labeled with different symbols in the directory view
to the left. The symbols have the following meaning:
If you position the pointer over a folder name in the directory view to the
left, a pop-up tip will appear, telling you the status of the folder (e.g. “All files
in this folder are included in the backup”).
Symbol Description
(green circle)
A filter has been defined specifically for this folder. All files in this
folder will be backed up. If a plus sign is shown in the circle, this
indicates that this filter is inherited by subfolders (i.e. the “Also
applies to subfolders” option is activated).
(light blue circle)
A filter has been defined specifically for this folder. Some (but
not all) files in this folder will be backed up. If a plus sign is
shown in the circle, this indicates that this filter is inherited by
subfolders (i.e. the “Also applies to subfolders” option is acti-
vated).
(red circle)
A filter has been defined specifically for this folder. No files in this
folder will be backed up (although files in subfolders may be in-
cluded in the backup, if separate filters have been defined for
these subfolders).
(green arrow up)
No filter has been defined specifically for this folder, but all files
in this folder will be backed up, since this folder inherits the filters
from a parent folder (one or several steps up).
(light blue arrow up)
No filter has been defined specifically for this folder, but some
(not all) files in this folder will be backed up, since this folder in-
herits the filters from a parent folder.
(purple arrow down)
No filter has been defined specifically for this folder. However, fil-
ters have been defined for one or more subfolders.
