BackupExec 2010 r3 Global Exclusions

I am backing up a folder structure like this

\\server1\users\fred\desktop
\\server1\users\fred\documents
\\server1\users\fred\$recycle.bin
\\server1\users\john\desktop
\\server1\users\john\documents
\\server1\users\john\$recycle.bin

I want to globally exclude all the $recycle.bin folders. I've been all over trying to see how to set up the exclusion but can't get it to work.

\\**\*\*\recycle.bin\ /SUBDIR /EXCLUDE
\\**\*\*\*recycle.bin*\ /SUBDIR /EXCLUDE
\\**\*\recycle.bin\ /SUBDIR /EXCLUDE

and on and on...

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

  • Add this instead -

    \\*\*\**$Recycle.Bin\
