Selecting Excluded File Types for Backup

Summary:

You can select excluded file types for backup in the Carbonite Properties menu.

This article applies to:

Carbonite Plans Products Platforms
Basic, Plus, Prime, Core, Power, and Ultimate (Not sure?) Safe and Safe Pro (Not sure?) Windows

Solution:

  1. Right-click on a file that is not included in your backup and select Carbonite; Properties.
    Right-click the File and select Carbonite; Properties
  2. Within the Carbonite tab, check Back up files of this type (within folders selected for backup) and click Apply.
    File Properties Window: Carbonite tab
    • If you cannot check the box, Carbonite cannot back up files of that type.
  3. Click OK to exit the window.

Carbonite will automatically back up files with these file types if they are within folders that are selected for backup.

Files larger than 4 GB (except for Outlook .PST files) will remain excluded from the backup after following the steps above. However, you can still select them for backup.
