-Some key points to understand before reading this guide:
+----
-  * CloudBacko Pro and AhsayACB filters checks the whole filename including the filename extension.  For example, you have a document with filename ‘employees’ so if ends with s is your filter then this file will not be included in the backup since its whole filename is ‘employees.doc’ or ‘employees.docx’ with both files not ending in s but c and x respectively.  Your OS may, by default, hide file extensions.  For further reference regarding showing file extensions, please refer to the following websites: http://kb.winzip.com/kb/entry/26/ or https://www.thewindowsclub.com/show-file-extensions-in-windows.

-  * This document may make references to regular expression patterns.  Regular expression patterns are case-sensitive.  For example, your pattern to match is ‘^a.*\.xls$’, will only match filenames starting with lower case letter a, but not filenames with upper case letter A.  For further reference regarding regular expressions please refer to the following websites:  https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/standard/base-types/regular-expression-language-quick-reference, https://medium.com/factory-mind/regex-tutorial-a-simple-cheatsheet-by-examples-649dc1c3f285, http://nebc.nerc.ac.uk/courses/perl_bioperl/regex.pdf, and http://www.cbs.dtu.dk/courses/27610/regular-expressions-cheat-sheet-v2.pdf
