BE 2012 - Is it possible to specify 'only backup files created in last 24 hours'?

This issue has been solved. See solution.
Hi all,
I think the title says it all really. Is it possible to specify my backup jobs so that they only backup files created within the last 24 hours (or a similar time period)?
Any help appreciated.
many thanks

Yes. Right-click on the server, use the exclude section and select file not assessed within a certain period. Also, check the Only modified file checkbox.
Hi there, thanks for your reply but I am having some trouble finding this option.
Would you mind being a bit more specific please as I cannot find this option when I right click on the server (BE 2012).
Sorry. Click on the Edit button on the left-hand pane which shows the selection list. On the next screen, right-click on the server and select Include/Exclude. There are various combinations. You might have to play with the combinations to get what you want.
Thanks. I have had a look at the options and am struggling to work out exactly what I need.
The 'Files Dated:' option is too rigid as I am not looking to include/exclude files within a certain date period.
The 'Files not accessed in 'X' days' in intriguing but I am not 100% sure this is what I am looking for as 'files accessed' seems like an unusal phase to use.
I have decided to do this via file type, which hopefully will work for me.
Would you like to reply?
