How do I find and deselect unwanted files from backup?
ISSUE: You have some files that are not getting backed up. After examining the Log for details on these
files, you realize that you do not need to back them up, and want to de-select them from the backup list.

- Click the "Go" menu, then select "Backup View" then
"Explore to Pick Files" (The Go menu is located in the top left of the PC Data Backups
window.)

- Highlight the folder in the left window.

to remove from backup. A rule wizard box will open.
