Zip archive

This scheduled task type allows archiving files and folders.

Source folder to archive files.

Zip file
Name of zip file.

Additional info for file name

Include files
One or more file names separated by semicolon. Wildcards ("*" and "?") are accepted. Since wildcard characters normally match directory separators ("\"), this option may be used to include any files that are in subdirectories. For example,
"1.txt" - include 1.txt file only
"sf\1.txt" - include 1.txt file from "sf" subdirectory only
"*.txt" - include .txt files from all subdirectories
"sf\*.txt" - include .txt files from "sf" and all its subdirectories
"*\*.txt" - include .txt files from all subdirectories (not from main directory)

Exclude files
One or more file names separated by semicolon. Wildcards ("*" and "?") are accepted. Since wildcard characters normally match directory separators ("\"), this option may be used to exclude any files that are in subdirectories. For example,
"1.txt" - exclude 1.txt file only
"sf\1.txt" - exclude 1.txt file from "sf" subdirectory only
"*.txt" - exclude .txt files from all subdirectories
"sf\*.txt" - exclude .txt files from "sf" and all its subdirectories
"*\*.*" - exclude all subdirectories

Compression level from 0 (fastest) to 9 (best).
