  2. Under the Exceptions to the Exclude List, click Add.
  3. In the Policy field, select a policy name from the drop-down menu or enter the name of a policy. Select All Policies to add these items back into all policies. (In other words, these items are to be excluded from the exclude list.)

  5. In the Files/Directories field, either browse or enter the files or directories to be added back into the backups that are based on the selected policy and schedule.
