backup path different letters windows

I have several policies with the same folder on different windows paths (letter).

example:
D:\backup
E:\backup
F:\backup

Is there a special character or way to put all these paths in one policy?

example:
*\backup

Thanks

      Hi marconimis 

      I think your best option will be to use the exclude settings (and exceptions to excludes) for the client (under client properties). 

      Simply include each possible path in the Backup Selections of the policy - then use the excludes for each client to avoid partial failures for missing paths.

      Windows wildcarding although helpful will not be in your case, as the wildcards need to be in the string at the end of the path (see the notes for the documentation referenced above).

      Cheers
