    To exclude email attachments that are larger than a specific size

    Do the following in the order listed:

    • Enter a size in KB.

    This feature does not apply to Lotus Notes emails.

    • Enter a date.

  3. To add a new email global exclude, click Add, and then configure as follows:

    Attachment file type

    The filter determines which attachment file types are excluded from backup by the global exclude.

    Lotus Notes emails cannot be filtered by attachment type.

    Filters can be file names or wildcards.

    Examples:

    Wildcard: *.tmp

    File name: pagefile.sys

    When using wildcards, you must use the asterisk (*) wildcard. For example, *.tmp returns all results with the .tmp extension while .tmp returns only files explicitly named .tmp.

    Mail folder name

    Type the name of the mail folder you would like to exclude from backup.

    Description

    Type a description of the global exclude.

  4. Click OK.
