Include & Exclude on file level backups
Had a question on when or whether new files and directories are included in backup jobs. In TI Home 11 doing a data file backup suppose the structure is:
MyFiles
..\Important
..\Unimportant
If I create a job, and first include MyFiles and then exclude MyFiles\Unimportant (leaving a box for MyFiles and check for MyFiles\Important). When the job is later run anything newly added files and directories to MyFiles\Important will be backed up and that MyFiles\Unimportant will not. But what about newly added content to MyFiles? If I want new files or directories under MyFiles to be included must I recreate the job each time?
Put another way, how do I exclude a subdirectory without implicitly excluding new items that are not in that directory's path?
thanks!

Thank you for the tip on setting up exclusions paths as a default to be used in the creation of new backup jobs. Previously I had only used exclusions for file types. When entered as a backup default, the exclusions were recognized for creating a file-level (My data) backup. Default exclusions did not appear when creating an image (My computer) backup, but could be reentered for each job.
