Apply selection lists to full, differential, and incremental backups to specify which data a client’s backup groups will include (Windows and Linux only) or exclude (all clients). If no inclusion or exclusion is specified, a full backup includes all client files. It is important that your subsequent incremental or differential backups use the same selection lists so that data across all backups in the group is consistent throughout. When creating a schedule, the same lists are applied to all scheduled backups automatically. For recommendations about using selection lists, see When to use a selection list.
Windows and Linux clients support inclusion lists for full, differential, and incremental backups. For more information see Windows selection lists and Linux selection lists.
