How to exclude some file extensions from Windows 7 backup?
Hello everyone,
I have Windows 7 Enterprise. I use Backup/restore feature, and I cannot find a way to exclude some extensions from the backups.
For example, I backup my projects for MSVC 2010, and all these huge SDF files got into the backup. I remember that in previous versions of Windows it was possible to choose what should be excluded.
Did I miss anything?
Thank you,
VladThanks

Hi,
You may choose what you want to back up by checking the Let me choose option in Set up backup settings.
Hope that helps.

Hello Ivan,
The way above allow me to select folders only. I cannot select individual files. And I cannot select/deselect specific extensions.

Hi,
If you only want to backup files without folders, I think you'd better create a *.bat file. But the names and paths cannot be changed frequently.
