4. In the Comment field, type a description of the backup set.
5. In the If field, do one of the following:
   • To specify that all of the conditions must be met in order for a file to be included in the backup set, select all of the conditions are true.
   • To specify that one or more of the conditions must be met in order for a file to be included in the backup set, select at least one of the conditions is true.
6. Define the conditions that must be met in order for a file to be included in the backup set, by doing the following for each condition:

   4. Click in the third column, and complete the condition:

      • If the parameter is File Modified, click and choose the desired date.

   For example, if you select File Name as the condition parameter in the first column, select begins with as the condition operator in the second column, and type "Work-123-" in the third column, then the backup set will include all files whose names begin with "Work-123-".

   Likewise, if you select File Type as the condition parameter in the first column, select is one of with as the condition operator in the second column, and type "avi, mov, mpg" in the third column, then the backup set will include all files with the extension *.avi, *.mov, and *.mpg.

7. To delete a condition, click in its row.
8. Click Next.

   The Select Folders dialog box appears.

   This dialog box enables you to select the folders to which this backup set applies. By default, the root folder is selected, meaning that the backup set applies to all files in all folders. If desired, you can select specific folders to which this backup set should apply.

   For example, you can create an backup set that contains all files that have the extension *.txt and reside in the folder /share1/textfiles by entering "txt" in the previous dialog box, and then choosing the folder /share1/textfiles in this dialog box.

9. Expand the tree nodes to reveal the folders.

   For an explanation of the icons and check boxes next to each folder, see Folder Icons.

10. Select the check boxes next to the folders you want to include in the excluded set.
11. Click Next.

    The Done screen appears.

12. Click Finish.
