1. A method for backing up data, the method comprising:
loading a file type database, wherein the file type database includes a location exclusion table and a file type table; grouping a plurality of files into a file cluster, wherein the file cluster is defined by a number of files modified within a period of time; scanning the file cluster to determine if one of the plurality of files has a file type associated with an exclude rule in the file type database; stopping the scan once the one of the plurality of files is determined to have a file type associated with the exclude rule; excluding the entire file cluster from a file backup list based on the one of the plurality of files determined to have a file type associated with the exclude rule; and storing the updated file backup list in a storage device. |
