Since specifying backup set file-by-file appears to be a very long process requiring a lot of attention and accuracy, most people prefer backing up entire directories. However, selecting an entire folder for backup often leads to including many unnecessary files, which may not be needed in the backup set.
To be able to skip them, there are three options of backup filtering in Handy Backup:
If you want to back up your video files, you may specify the video file extensions such as avi, wmv, mpeg, and Handy Backup will take care of them in no time.
