Configuring Backups of Recently Modified or Created Files Using the Windows File System Agent

You can configure backups to include only the data that has been modified or created after a specified date.

The option is useful if you need to filter data that was modified before a certain date.

About this Task

• After enabling the date option for an existing subclient if you do not run a full backup, the data filtered out based on date rule will be marked as deleted.

• After moving the date forward for a configured subclient if you do not run a full backup, the data backed up by the previous jobs will be marked as deleted.

• A full backup is mandatory after disabling the date option or after moving the date backward.

• This option is applicable to file system backups and laptop backups only.

• This option is not applicable to network share backups.
