    As it IS a VMware policy then the only workaround is to make the one disk independant so that it does not get picked up

    Exclude lists do not apply to VMware backups

    The other option is to back it up using a MS-Windows policy in which case your exclude list will work

Good spot Marianne (as always) - hadn't noticed that it was being done as a VMWare policy especially as multiistreaming was mentioned!

In that case then you cannot do it - you can exclude C (boot) or you can exclude D and E (data) but not just E
