Using the File System Tab to Select Backup Content

The File System tab lets you select or deselect any files or folders on your system to include with your backup. This method differs from selecting backup sets because instead of searching for a file type, you specify the individual files or folders to include in the back up. Any files selected in either the Backup Sets or File System tabs are shown as selected in both tabs. Likewise, deselecting a file in either tab also deselects it in the other.

  1. Right-click the MozyHome icon Mozy Tray Icon in your system tray, and select Configure.
  2. Click the File System tab. The File System is displayed in the left pane and individual files are displayed in the right pane. An encrypted file name is displayed as a different color than the rest of your files.

  3. Select the folders you want to include in the backup. When you select a folder, all its subfolders are selected as well.
  4. Select or deselect individual files in the right pane that you want to include or exclude from the backup.
  5. When you have finished in this tab, continue your configuration in other tabs, or click Save. Your settings are saved and the Configuration window closes.
None of the steps above disengage the feature that automatically marks subsequently created files in selected folders. You can hover your mouse pointer over a folder to reveal a tooltip explaining how it is treated during a backup.
