Examples of possible exclusions are:
- *.tmp
- *.txt
- *.mp3
- pagefile.sys·
- \Folder
Follow these steps to create the global exclusion list:
1. Open Veritas Backup Exec.
2. From Home button, click 'Configuration and Settings' > 'Job Defaults' > 'Exclude Selections' as shown in below figure.
3. Select the Insert tab.
4. Then add the extension to the 'Name' field.
The following example shows all the files that have "*.txt" as an extension to be excluded.
5. Click OK to close
