Global Preferences: Auto-Exclude

The Auto-Exclude page of the Global Preferences window (accessible from the Tools menu, Global Preferences menu item) contains settings for automatically ignoring specific files and folders during backup.

Some system files and folders on the computer are not made to be moved or copied, and are accessed only by the Windows system, trying to backup these files will cause an error in GBM. To avoid running into backup problems, GBM by default skips these files and folders in all the backup jobs created by the user. This preferences window enables the user to add/remove files and folders from the 'Auto-Exclude' list.
