.

On this page you can define which files and folders you want to backup. Following options are available:

Include files

Choose files and folders to include into archive. You can use the list editor to choose files or enter them manually.

For example: "c:\*.doc;E:\Work\*.xls"

Exclude files

Choose files and folders which you want exclude from archiving. You can use the list editor to choose files or enter them manually.

For example: "*.doc;*.xls"

Compression level

For each task you can choose archive compression level. Following items are available: Do not archive (archive will create without compression), fastest, faster, fast, normal, slow, slower, maximal compression.

Archiver parameters:

Include subfolders

If this flag is set then all subfolders of source folders will be included in archive

Delete source files after archiving

WARNING!!! If this flag is set then all source files and folders will be DELETED after archiving

Store directory structure

If this flag is on then directory structure of the source folders will be saved in archive. If this flag is off, all files will be saved without paths in one directory.

Store empty folders

If this flag is on then empty source folders will be created in archive.

Copy NTFS rights

If this flag is on then NTFS rights of source files and folders will be copied. Built-in Zip archiver doesn›t support this option. If you want to copy NTFS rights use COPY MODE or external archiver like WinRar, which support this option.

Store full source path on copy

If this flag is on then all files will be stored in archive with full source path.

For example: There are following folders: C:\data\buh\x\bin , C:\data\buh\x\1Sdb.

You define following source path «C:\data\buh\Today\*.*» and set this flag on. So full paths \data\buh\x\bin and  \data\buh\x\1Sdb will be stored in archive. If you set this flag off, then only following path information \bin and \1Sdb will be saved.

Skip files with too long destination name          

During backup process full destination file name can be exceed the Windows path length limit (256 symbols) in this case APBackup can't save this file. If you set this option that file will just skip and backup go on. If this option is set off the task will be interrupted with error.
