### File Selection Options
Here you can select the items from your user profile folder that will be sent to the backup location. By default all are turned on except the Addon Data directory. You can also define non-Kodi directories on your device. See "Custom Directories" for more information on how these are handled.
You can select files via a Simple or [Advanced Editor](https://github.com/robweber/xbmcbackup/wiki/Advanced-Editor). Using the simple editor you can select from common Kodi folders that you would like to be backed up. Below is a breakdown of the file selection options available. More information about Kodi file paths can be found on [the wiki](http://kodi.wiki/view/Special_protocol)

### Custom Directories
### Custom Directories (Legacy)
**If using Backup 1.5.0 or greater these have been moved to the [Advanced Editor](https://github.com/robweber/xbmcbackup/wiki/Advanced-Editor).**
You can define custom directories that are not a part of your Kodi folder structure for backup. These create a "custom_hash" folder in your backup destination. The hash for these folders is very important. During a restore if the hash of the file path in Custom 1 does not match the hash in the restore folder it will not move the files. This is to prevent files from being restored to the wrong location in the event you change file paths in the addon settings. A dialog box will let you know if file paths do not match up.
