+===== 4. Filtering in Continuous Backup =====
+----
+<WRAP indent><WRAP indent>
+Filtering in continuous backup is only supported by CloudBacko Pro on Windows Operating System.  For continuous backup you can only specify filters that would exclude files from the backup.  After turning on continuous backup, you must run a full backup first.  This is to ensure that all the files are backed up.  If you do not run a full backup first then only files that were changed or added will be backed up by CloudBacko Pro.
+.1.          Choose the backup set that you want to set a continuous backup for.
+| {{public:features:filter:image052.png?700}} |
+.2.          Go to Continuous Backup and slide the lever to the right to turn it on.
+| {{public:features:filter:image060.png?700}} |
+.3.          Check the box if you do not want to backup files defined as system files which is enabled by default.  Please refer to Appendix D for a list of system files that will be excluded from the backup.  Set how often backup will run in minutes/hours.  Also specify the size limit of the file that will be backed up.
+| {{public:features:filter:image062.png?700}} |
+.4.          Click the + Add new exclude filter to specify the criteria for the filter.
+| {{public:features:filter:image064.png?700}} |
+  * Enter the filter name.
+  * You can match the file/folder names either by Simple comparison or Regular expression (UNIX-style).  For simple comparison you can match it by ends with, contains or starts with.
+  * Enter the pattern that will be used for the filter.  If there are more than one pattern, click the Add button to enter another pattern.  Keep doing this until all the patterns are added.
+  * Specify the location of the files/folder whether in all selected sources or just a specific folder.  By default All selected sources is selected.
+  * Choose whether to apply the filter to a file, folder of both.
