Custom Filesets in Cucku Backup

A powerful capability in Cucku Backup is finding and backing up all files of a certain type, regardless of where the files are stored. Several default filesets are provided with Cucku including common photos, videos, music and documents. If you need to, it's easy to add your own fileset. Just double-click the Custom Fileset item on the Edit Backup screen or in the Setup Wizard (if you need more than one custom fileset right-click the list and pick Add Fileset from the menu):



I wanted to backup some C# projects, so I added each file type and also decided to look for projects on all of my drives.



Windows identifies file types by the extension and by default the extensions are hidden. A photo called 'Beach' will probably have the .jpg extension so the full name is 'Beach.jpg'. If you don't know the file type Cucku can help you find it - when you click Add on the Edit Fileset window you can browse to an example file. Cucku then reads the extension and adds this to the list for you.
