AISBackup: More on Selecting Files.

The Select Files Window contains a list of folders on the left and the contents of the selected folder on the right.

The selection of items is done by clicking the selected state icon.

	No files or folders have been selected.
	All files and folders have been selected. All new files and folders created below the selected path will also be included on the backup.
	Not all the files and folders have been selected below this path. If all the files have been selected at this path then any new files created will also be included on the backup. If one or more files have been excluded from the backup then any newly created file will not be included on the backup. If you want to include newly created files you will have to select all files from the path and then add the files you want to exclude to the Exclude Files Of Type option.

This will ensure that the contents of other newly created folders will be included in a backup without having to manually select them.
