All files will be included in the backup unless the **DeleteAfterDownload** attribute of the **System.FileDocument** entity, or any of its generalizations, is set to **true**.

This flag is particularly important when handling sensitive or confidential data, as it guarantees that once a file is downloaded and deleted, it cannot be retrieved from either the active storage or backup systems, thereby maintaining complete data security throughout the file's lifecycle.
