    Right scrap what i've just done above instead of making a new backup selection, so i went back to how your supposed to do in the "manage selection\excludes" selection and  i normally setup in the excludes list as followed;

    Path: \\servername\D:\

    File: *.*avi; *.*mp3; *.*jpg ........ etc, several files at once.

    and i've had to do 1 file at a time now which is stupid really and was time consuming to do because i have a lot of jobs :(, Example of what I've had to do now;

    First Entry;

    Path: \\servername\D:\

    File: *.*avi

    Second Entry

    Path: \\servername\D:\

    File: *.*mp3

    Can Symantec Find out why in the BLUE HELL it's done that??

    Thanks
