; Default filename: MRBackup.bflt
;
; This is MRBackup's "backup filter" file. It provides you with very precise control
; over the file selection process. You may toggle between "include" specifications or
; "exclude" specifications freely. An "include" section is started with :INCLUDE:
; appearing on a line by itself. An "exclude" section is started with :EXCLUDE:
; appearing on a line by itself. Individual specifications consist of ARP-style
; filename selection patterns. Here is a brief summary of the ARP filename pattern
; syntax:
;
; Character Meaning
; -------- -------
; ? Match any single character.
; % Match the null string.
; #<p> Match zero or more occurrences of pattern <p>.
; * Match any pattern (same as #?).
; <p1><p2> Match pattern <p1> followed by pattern <p2>.
; ( ) Parentheses group patterns together.
; (<p1>|<p2>) Match if either <p1> or <p2> match (parentheses req'd.).
; [] Character class (ex: [a-z] or [0-9] ).
; ~<p> Negation: match anything BUT pattern <p>.
; Example: "~*.info" means all files except those
; ending in ".info" (quotes for illustration only)
; ' Escape next special character. Useful for filenames
; which contain question marks, quotes, etc.
;
; As you probably have guessed, any line beginning with a semi-colon (;) is a
; comment and will be ignored by MRBackup. Empty lines are also ignored.
; IMPORTANT! All pattern specifications are assumed to be relative to the "Home
; Path" specification and must contain no device name component (characters followed
; by a colon (:). For instance, to specify files in your sys:devs/printers directory,
; the pattern would be "devs/printers/<pattern>", NOT "sys:devs/printers/<pattern>".
;
:INCLUDE:
; Place your :INCLUDE: specifications here:
; If you wish to backup specific areas of your disk, the :INCLUDE: mechanism is
; probably what you want to use. If any :INCLUDE: specifications appear in this
; file, MRBackup will ignore all but the device name portion of the "Home Path"
; specification. It is very important to distinguish between :INCLUDE: patterns
; and :EXCLUDE: patterns. :INCLUDE:" patterns must be specified down to the FILENAME
; level, while :EXCLUDE: patterns may be specified to either the directory or
; filename level. For instance, to include all the files in the System directory,
; your :INCLUDE: pattern would be "System/#?" (or "System/*"). To exclude all of
; the files in the System directory, your pattern can be simply "System".
;
:EXCLUDE:
;
; Place your :EXCLUDE: specifications here:
; The :EXCLUDE: specifications are best used when you intend to backup most of a
; disk partition but you wish to omit a select group of files from the backup.
; Depending on the patterns specified, you can omit whole directories (and their
; subdirectories) or individual files. As an example, the following patterns will
; omit all Trashcan icons, their folders and their contents:
;
; (Trashcan.info|Trashcan)
;
; Note that "Trashcan/#?" could also be used in the second pattern above.
; However, the above specification is more efficient since it omits the
; whole directory before it is ever scanned.
; The best way to learn how to use this filter is to experiment with it. It is
; quite likely that you will derive multiple copies of this file to support
; different backup requirements for different projects.
