Want to backup only one specific file type....
I want to backup just a specific file type ( or set of specific types ). Say I want to backup all of my *.pptx files. ... or all of my *.pptx and *.docx files but nothing else, I do not see how to do this. The help page is not helpful. There is and 'Exclusion' but not an Inclusion tab. Can I use Booleans in the exclusion?
Many thanks,
Bob

If you use the backup type as a Fiile Backup, it is possible to create a custom category and insert specific file types into the custom selection so the backup is limited to those types listed. Example below.
However, you probably will not like the result. The backup will list all folders but the folders will empty except for those with your designated file type. This means you will need to know where the files are located. Also, the backup will be slow.
An alternative would be if you were to use a program such as Replicator or others

which would be much faster and include just the files you want and can be scheduled.

Thanks Pat and Grover!
I'll just do what I need with a Linux tar command and script. I was hoping to standardize on Acronis images.
