Use the Folders and Files Settings page to specify which
folders and files to continuously protect by selecting the files to
include and exclude.
List
of Folders and Files to Include and Exclude
You can include
and exclude or remove an item from the list:
- Include
- Click Include to add files and folders
that you want to continuously protect.
- Exclude
- Click Exclude to select the files and folders
that you want to exclude from continuous and scheduled protection.
- Remove
- Select a list item, and then click Remove to
remove that list item.
The list contains these columns:
- Name
- Patterns in the Name column
specify one or more files or folders. See Wildcard characters in file specifications to determine what
files and folders match a Name pattern with
blanks or asterisks. When a folder is protected, all of its files
and subfolders are protected.
- Type
- Values in the Type column indicate whether
the files and folders should be included or excluded from protection.
Files and folders that are excluded from continuous and scheduled
protection are not protected. Files that are included are protected.
Files that are excluded have precedence over files that are included.
As a result, any file or folder that matches an exclude pattern are
not protected, even if the same file or folder matches an include
pattern. (See Including and excluding files from protection).
Note: The Initial Configuration Wizard. However,
the Initial Configuration Wizard only allows file additions (of type
Include). Any exclude patterns exclude files from protection as soon
as Tivoli® Storage Manager FastBack for Workstations is
installed, but they are hidden from view during installation. Although
exclude patterns are exposed in the Settings Notebook,
you can specify advanced configuration options.
