Default Adding file extensions to backup to Dell DataSafe Online

Hi,
I have searched the Dell forum and here at Google but didn't find
anything about my question. Please forgive me if I have overlooked it.

I am trying to add file extensions for backup in the Dell DataSafe
Online Backup Client but it looks like it won't let me do that. I can
only add 1 file at a time or entire folders and subfolders. Am I
missing something? Is it possible to do what the software does by
default?
Example from folder/file view of backup:
Include | *.doc | C:\Documents and Settings\*

(The above backs up all Word documents (.doc) files in the C:
\Documents and Settings folder & subfolder path.)

How do I add my own such entries for other file type extensions or is
that NOT possible?

Unfortunately, with this implementation of DataSafe Online, you're not
able to add your own file type extensions or create your own rules.
Like you state above, you may add specific files or folders from any
location, including other drives and user's directories (as long as
you have appropriate r/w/d permissions).

Thanks for your reply. I have given up on Dell DataSafe Online in
favor of Amazon S3 and JungleDisk. The cost is cheaper and it is much
more flexible.
