By default, the following types of files are backed up by Seqrite backup feature:

This article will help you to add custom file extensions/ file types other than the default supported file types in the EPS console 7.6 from the policies.

Applicable versions: EPS 7.6

To add custom file type for backup, follow the steps:

1. Log on to the Seqrite Endpoint Security Web console.

2.  Go to Clients > Manage Policies.

3. Select the “Policy” to which you want to add custom file extensions/file types.

4.  Go to General settings in the selected Policy.

5. To add custom file type /file extension, enter the file extension name and set its maximum file size.
Note: Maximum file size can be set up to 999999 MB.
For E.g. If wish to back up AutoCAD data which has file type .dwg. Add file type in the EPS console 7.6 from the policy.

6. Click Add. AutoCAD data will be backed up on the endpoints once the settings are saved in the policy.

7. To save your settings, click Save Policy.

NOTE:

1. Backup feature will back up the “Default file type” and “Updated file type” data on the physical local drives on the endpoints.
2. The default file types has maximum file size limit of 25 MB.
3. Make sure the local drives of the endpoint have enough free space to back up the important files.
   

To exclude any file extension from Seqrite Backup, follow these steps:

1. If backup of any file type is not needed, then exclude the file type from the EPS console 7.6 policy settings.
    

2. To save your setting, click Save Policy.

In this way, other/custom file types can be added in the EPS console 7.6 from the policy.
