Backing up endusers windwos desktop using DLO

[Bruce_Musgrove]

I wish to backup the end users desktop located in C:\Documents and Settings\\Desktop

Since each machine may have several different userID that need to be backed up, how can we do it in DLO?

I tried to use a include filter for the folder Desktop. I hoped it would work as the exclude folder does and include any folder called Desktop in the directory tree but it does not. It appears to need a absolute path to it.

Example: if I exclude the folder MESSAGES , all folders (inclugin subfolders such as C:\data \messages or c:\windows\messages) are excluded.

If I include the folder DESKTOP then desktops are not included (IE C:\windows\desktop or C:\DOCUMENTAS AND SETTINGS\USERID\DESKTOP)

The Desktop selection is already pre-defined by DLO. Add a new backup selection to your profile and select Desktop as a pre-defined folder.
