File and Folder Backup
I have configured Acronis 2016 to backup a specific folder in C:\My Documents. I had to click on the Select All checkbox to add all the subfolders to the backup. My question is: As I create new folders, are the automatically added to the existing backup scheme automatically?
In my experience, as long as the top level folder is selected, anything new will be included by default, unless they have specifically been excluded already or are being included in another excluded folder.
Example: My documentss is selected at the root so everything will be backed up in it. You exclude "my music" because you don't use that folder for your music media. You create a folder in My Documents called "Rock Music" - that should get backed up now. You then copy some files from "Rock Music" to "my music" and those files will not get backed up since you previously excluded the "my music" folder.
As Steve suggested though, better to test and confirm by creating a new folder, running a backup and then checking the backup file for the new folder to make sure it really is there (but it should be).
Thank you, will check after the next backup.
