Exclude and include files
You can specify individual settings for every job. These settings complement the global settings for this computer while the job is running.
Under Files in the Job assistant, you can exclude files and folders from defragmentation. You can for instance exclude a complete folder, but still put certain files from it the list of files to be defragmented. In addition, you can also specify that large files should not be defragmented or moved due to time constraints.
