We’re hoping Norton publishes Norton 360 v24 User Guide.

• Back up common file types only: Select this option to not include system files and other uncommon file types. If turned off, your Norton product backs up all files.

fwiw

• I needed to disable Back up common file types only…for Norton to back up my Users\user\Downloads folder

• When I had Backup sync fail
  The “failed files” were protected system files → System Volume Information apparently failed because I had opted Back up common file types only disabled…pics here

• Common File Types
