This list contains all files and directories that you have selected for backup. You can add entries by drag & drop or with the button "Add/edit entry". For each Backup Set, only files and directories from one volume can be selected, but multiple Backup Sets can be linked to form a backup job list. Create one Backup Set per volumne first and then link those Backup Sets to form a chain.

 

You can remove entries from the list by selecting an entry with the mouse and clicking the button "Remove entry" or by pressing the  Del  key on your keyboard.

To select a single entry in the list, just click on it with the left mouse button. To select a region of entries, click on the first entry, then press  Shift  and keep it pressed while you click on the last entry of the region.

 Non-continuous selection: Select entries while keeping  Ctrl  pressed.

 Backup from the network
 

To back up a network drive, the network connection credentials must first be configured before files and directories from the network can be selected for backup. If files/directories of a local hard drive have already been selected, this button will no longer be displayed.

 Create File List

 When you click on the button  Add/edit entry , a dialog window appears in which you can select files and directories which you want to back up.

You can select up to 254 directories (64 in the free version) for backup. Subdirectories are always included in a backup and do not count.
 e.g. "C:\Program Files\*" counts as one directory, no matter how many subfolders it contains.

 

Notes:

  Only the files of one volume can be selected per Backup Set.

If you want to save directories from different volumes in one step, you must create one backup set for each volume and then link them to form a backup job chain.


  You can backup your whole hard disk with Z-DBackup, but you can only restore your operating system to a working state using a boot disc. Alternatively, use a program for creating partition images!

Generally, all filetypes are included in a backup. If you only want to include certain file types, you can use the whitelist for that.

  If it is a network backup, this option is not available.

Generally, all files and subdirectories are included in a backup. If you want to exclude certain files or directories (such as system files), you can do so with the blacklist.
