backing up certain file types

Thread needs solution

I'm trying to only backup specific files in the users folder, such as *.doc, *.xls but I only have found an exclusion tab. Is there a way to only include the file types I want?

Chris, sorry but you will need to achieve what you want to do by way of excluding what you don't want rather than by only including what you want.

The only other way I can think of suggesting would be to copy just your *.doc & *.xls files to a temporary storage location first then backing up only the contents of that location.  This could be automated by way of a Pre-Command before doing the backup then the temporary folder removed on completion, but this will depend on the volume and size of your documents.
