Use the following parameters to specify which files and folders to exclude.

Exclude files matching the following criteria

Select this check box to skip files and folders with names matching any of the listed criteria (called

file masks). Use the Add, Edit, Remove and Remove All buttons to create and manage the list of file

masks.

You can use one or more wildcard characters “*” and “?” in a file mask.

To exclude a folder specified by a path containing the drive letter, add a backslash (“\”) to the folder

name in the criterion, for example: C:\Finance\.

For example, you can set the Source files exclusion to Exclude files matching the following criteria:

*.tmp, *.~, *.bak.

You can exclude the whole volume of the backed up VM by specifying exclusions in the following

format: C:\* or D:\* . Note that the drive letters specified in the exclusions settings may not

correspond the drive letters defined in the guest OS. For example, you have Windows 2008 guest OS

which has system reserved partition (without a drive letter assigned). Then to exclude the files from

the C: drive you have to specify D:\* in the exclusions settings in Acronis vmProtect 9.

Another example. Suppose the source system has the following partitions:

 System Reserved

 C: (Local Disk)

 D: (CD-ROM)

 E: (Local Disk)

 K: (Local Disk)

In Acronis vmProtect 9 these volumes will be enumerated in alphabetical order starting from the

“system reserved” partition and skipping CD-ROM(s):

 C: (System Reserved)

 D: (C: (Local Disk))

 E: (E: (Local Disk))

 F: (K: (Local Disk))

Therefore in order to exclude the K: drive you should specify F:\* in the exclusions settings in Acronis

vmProtect 9.

Tip: you can check the volume letters enumeration via the File Recovery feature (where you browse

through the files/folders tree inside an existing recovery point).

7.5.3 Compression Level

The Compression level option defines the level of compression applied to the data being backed up.

The default setting for this option is Normal.

The optimal data compression level depends on the type of data being backed up. For example, even

maximum compression will not significantly reduce the archive size if it already contains fairly
