1 - DLO Include/Exclude; 2 - DLO Profile updates, 3 - DLO Macros

1 - We want to exclude c:\documents and settings, then include c:\documents and settings\%username% to backup what's in the Windows user profile for the user doing the backup.

The problem we run into is that, if the user that runs the backup job is an administrator, all user profiles under c:\documents and settings are backed up. If the user is not an administrator, the public user profiles (All Users and Default User) are backed up, in addition to the user running the backup job.

How do we get it to backup only the one Windows user profile under c:\documents and setting\%username%?

2 - When changes are made to the Profiles in DLO, the enduser gets a dialog box that says Loading Settings, and the displayed list of files to be backed up change, based on the changes made at the server. But this doesn't always happen.

One user might see the dialog box, and everything looks ok, while another user might see it, but the files selected for backup are not what are set in the DLO profile. This includes files from any folders, not just Documents and Settings.

Sometimes, ending and restarting the DLO Agent fixes this problem. Other times, it takes a reboot, or an uninstall and reinstall of the DLO Agent.

3 - When we try to put DLO Macros (%TEMP%,
%WEBTEMP%, etc.) into the Global Excludes, this feature doesn't always work. We get around it by putting the literal folder names into the DLO Profile's Backup Selection.

Question 1:

Try using %CURRENTUSERPROFILE%

As for the the other I am not sure of the answers
