DS-User F1 Help for GUI (Context-Sensitive) : Select Items for Backup Set
 
Select Items for Backup Set
Browse and select what you want to back up, restore, or replicate.
 
Shares & Directories List / Databases List / Users and Services List
Shows the items available to add.
For database backups, this dialog box shows a list of databases that you can add to the backup set.
For SharePoint Granular Item-Level Restores, this dialog box shows a list of databases. You must select the database containing the restored SharePoint database you want to use for Item-Level restore.
For Salesforce.com Granular Item-Level Restores, this dialog box shows a list of tables and the number of rows in the table. You can click the [...] button in the corresponding cell to select individual items for restore from the table. Opens the “"Backup Objects for ‘...’ (‘Backup from the Cloud’)"” dialog box.
For VM replication, this dialog box shows a list of virtual machines that you can add to the VM replication set. Two buttons are available for VM replication: "Add" and "Remove".
Add
Backup
To add a directory, browse the Shares & Directories List, select the directory you want to back up, and then click Add.
Note: You can add only one directory at a time. Subdirectories are automatically included, unless you clear the Include SubDirs check box.
Replication
To add a virtual machine, browse the Shares & Directories List, select the virtual machine you want to replicate, and then click Add.
Exclude
Excluding will prevent the selected directory from being backed up. Its parent directory must be selected for backup.
For database backups this allows you to prevent the selected database from being backed up if the full database instance has been selected for backup.
RegEx
Regular Expression is a more specific form of the Exclude function. It allows you to exclude at the filename or filepattern level. However, you must learn the Regular Expression software syntax. Opens the "Regular Expression".
Files
To add specific files, browse through the Shares & Directories List until the directory the files are stored in appears. Click Files. A dialog box showing the list of files in that directory appears. Highlight the file(s) you wish to add to the backup set.
Items
To add specific items, email messages, or entries inside a folder to the backup set, in the Users and Services List, expand the mailbox/user to which the folder belongs, select the folder, and then click Items. A dialog box that lists the content of that folder appears. Select the individual items, messages, or entries you want to add to the backup set, and then click Add.
Filter
To add files that match a filter, in the Filter box, enter the file pattern that you would like to search for in the selected directory. (e.g. *.doc will search the directory for all files with the .doc file extension.)
Include SubDirs
Subdirectories are automatically included, unless you clear this check box.
Exclude all system tables that are not restorable
(Salesforce)
For Salesforce.com backup sets, the System Tables are not restorable to the online database.
Use this checkbox to configure the backup set to either automatically exclude or include Salesforce System Tables.
Backup Items Selected
Shows the Items selected for backup. The icon describes the type of item and whether its subdirectories are included. The share and path is listed, and the extension indicates if a filter is used.
 
Replicated Items Selected
Shows the virtual machines that are selected for replication.
Remove
Backup
Select an item from the Backup Items Selected, and then click this button to remove the item from the backup set.
Note: Removing a selected item for backup will not remove previous backups of that item. To remove previously backed-up data, use the Delete function.
 
Replication
Select a virtual machine from the Replicated Items Selected list, and then click this button to remove the virtual machine from the replication set.
Failed Files
(Edit Items)
[Windows DS-Client - File system backup set only]
Click to view a list of files that failed to back up. This opens the "Failed Files During Backup" dialog box.
This is a cumulative list of files that failed since the backup set was created.

Opens the "Regular Expression" for the highlighted item.
