h2. Question


----
When I run a backup, CDP server backs up the entire disk or partition. Is there a way to back up only certain files or folders on a disk or partition?

CDP is more technically called asynchronous replication. It is replicating your file system at the block-level in a way that only the changes between recovery points are copied. And those changes are usually known ahead of time making backup windows very short.

If you are using a CDP 3 product edition you can EXCLUDE *exclude* selected files and folders from the replication. See [Excluding Files and Folders|http://wiki.r1soft.com/display/CDP3/Excluding+Files+and+Folders] (CDP 3.0 Documentation).
