The Backup Content List

To preview the detailed list of files and folders added to the project, double-click on the list in the main window. Or choose Backup > Review Content. The detailed list allows you to expand folders and see their content.

Each row in the table displays a file or folder added to the current backup project.

1 – By deselecting check boxes next to files or folders you can exclude these items from the backup archive. The excluded items will remain listed.

2 – The name of a folder or file.

3 – Icons indicate the existence of the original file or folder and the existence of its copy in one of the backups.

• The original file or folder can be found only in the original location. There are no backup copies.
  
• A copy of a file or folder can be found only in a backup archive. The original was not found.
  
• The original file or folder as well as its backup copy are available.
  

4 – The date of the last file or folder modification.

5 – This column displays the file size. The size of folders and bundles is not calculated.

All files in the table are sorted alphabetically. To change the sorting order, just click on the header of the Folders & Files column.

It is possible that a file is listed but an icon (2) displays that it is not found in the archive. This can happen when you have a series of incremental archives and the selected archive does not contain the file.

To add or delete files or folders from the backup physically (not exclude), close the content list and use “+” and “-” buttons in the main window.

You can exclude files from the archive manually. To do this, deselect check boxes next to files. Files can be also excluded automatically. You can change the type of automatically excluded files in the Backup Properties dialog.
