Backing up specific folders in all user profiles. (Documents, Desktop etc)

Thread needs solution

Wondering if it's possible to back up only specific folders in all user profiles instead of the entire profile folder [All Profiles Folder].   I've tried and can't seem to get something that works.

Hi Jerem, 

Could you please specify a bit more? 

Do you wish to exclude certain folders from the backup or backup only specific folders inside  [All Profiles Folder]?

Hi, so I need to back up only the Desktop, Documents and Download folders for all user profiles.  It's a remote desktop server and backing up the entire Users folder is way too much data and too many files.  Also, there are dozens of users so specifying each profile individually is not manageable.

Hi, still haven't solved this issue.

Jerem - did you find a solution? Having the same issue.

No, no response and I never found a solution.  Let me know here if you find anything and I'll do the same.  Right now I'm backing up the entire folder and doing some half assed exclusions on specific folders. 

Configure file level backup by creating new backup plan and choose desired folders to backup plan.

 I don't think you understand what I was trying to do.  I've since given up and moved on from Acronis.
