To learn how you can override this default behavior, see this Veeam KB article. As a result, these files are not included into Veeam Agent backups too. During backup, Veeam Agent will ignore any filters configured for this volume.īy default, Microsoft Windows does not include some files into the VSS snapshot - for example, temporary files, Microsoft Outlook. When you select an entire volume as an object of a file-level backup, Veeam Agent adds backup exclusions to the FilesNotToSnapshot registry key, triggers creation of the volume shadow copy (VSS snapshot), reads data from the VSS snapshot and saves the data to a backup repository.Depending on the type of the object in the backup scope, during job execution Veeam Agent behaves differently:.Masks that contain paths are applied to the selected folders and entire volumes.File name and file type masks are applied only to the folders specified in the backup scope and not the entire volumes.In the hybrid backup job, filters work in the following way: In this case, entire volumes are processed using volume-level backup mode while specific folders from other volumes are processed using file-level backup mode. All backup scenarios in this topic are performed in the file-level backup mode.Ī file-level backup job may contain entire volumes and individual folders or files from the other volumes (this is referred to as hybrid backup job ).To learn more about setting up file filters for backup jobs when Veeam Agent operates in the standalone mode, see How to Use Filters to Define File-Level Backup Scope in the Veeam Agent for Windows User Guide. For example, when you create a backup job in the Veeam Backup & Replication console, you can specify paths and system environment variables in exclude masks. The settings of a backup job created by Veeam Agent operating in the managed mode provide additional file filtering capabilities compared to the settings available for a backup job created by Veeam Agent operating in the standalone mode. This topic covers the file filtering functionality available for a backup job created by Veeam Agent operating in the managed mode.This topic demonstrates several basic scenarios you may want to implement in your infrastructure.īefore you configure filters, consider the following: When you create or edit a Veeam Agent backup job for a Microsoft Windows computer in the Veeam Backup & Replication console, you can include and exclude files and folders from the backup job scope by using include and exclude masks as described in Specifying Folders to Back Up.
