Yes you can apply filters to entire directories. This way the filter will apply to the subfolders and individual files of the filtered directory too:

  • in the Filters window of the backup/restore wizard click on Add (in the include or exclude filter) to open the Edit file filter item window
  • check the option Filter by name and Filter folder names also
  • in the Filter field, enter the directory name that you want to filter in the following format: *\directory_name\*. Backup4all will apply the filter to all the directories that are called directory_name. If you want to apply the filter to directories containing a specific word, you must enter it in the following format *\*keyword*\*. Now Backup4all will apply the filter to all the directories that have the word keyword in their names. Once you've written the desired combination, press on Add and then Ok to apply the filter.

ReviewsReviews

"To be honest, I always say <<I'll burn that backup folder someday this week>> and the week passes without having my files backed up.

Reviews

With Backup4all this issue can disappear, and the stress related to <<what if my hard drive crashes>> problem will disappear. I think that I'll leave the backup tasks for this program from now on. What about you?"
