Exclusions from mailbox backup

This option applies to mailbox-level backups.

The option defines which mailbox items to skip during the backup process and thus exclude from the list of backed-up items.

To specify which files and folders to exclude:

Set up any of the following parameters:

• Exclude "Deleted Items" folders

  Select this check box to skip the Deleted Items folders and all their content.

• Exclude "Junk E-Mail" folders

  Select this check box to skip the Junk E-Mail folders and all their content.

• Exclude "Sent Items" folders

  Select this check box to skip the Sent Items folders and all their content.

• Exclude items older than: ...

  Select this check box and specify the age of backed up items. The items older than the specified age will be skipped from backup.

• Exclude attachments larger than: ...

  Select this check box and specify the upper size limit for the backed up attachments. The attachments whose size is greater than the specified value will be skipped during backup.

• Exclude attachments matching the following criteria:

  Select this check box to skip the e-mail attachments whose names match any of the criteria specified by file masks. Use the Add, Edit, Remove and Remove All buttons to create the list of file masks.

  You can use one or more wildcard characters * and ? in a file mask:

  The asterisk (*) substitutes for zero or more characters in a file name; for example, the file mask Vid*.avi yields files such as Vid.avi and Video.avi. The *.avi mask yields all .avi files.

  The question mark (?) substitutes for exactly one character in a file name; for example, the file mask App?.exe yields files such as App1.exe and Apps.exe — but not the files App.exe or App11.exe
