Hi All,

I have these items listed in my selction list (via the lotus domino selection AND via the filesystem)

EM-SERVER-01|D:\Lotus\Domino\Data\*.ft /SUBDIR /EXCLUDE

\\EM-SERVER-01\D:\Lotus\Domino\Data\*.ft /SUBDIR /EXCLUDE

But in my backup report I get,

======================================================================

Why is it still backing up the .ft folders and there contents.

Take note of the Note in the document quoted by Ken.

Every sub-directory after the ** wildcard is included or excluded based on parameters set in the job.

I think your first line

EM-SERVER-01|D:\Lotus\Domino\Data\**\*.ft
 

should be sufficient.

EM-SERVER-01|D:\Lotus\Domino\Data\*.ft /SUBDIR /EXCLUDE  tells Backup Exec to look for *.ft in the data folder itself

 

 Try using 

EM-SERVER-01|D:\Lotus\Domino\Data\hosting\client01 in the path and *.ft in the files 

You can also use a "**" to inidcate anything at that level so you could use

EM-SERVER-01|D:\Lotus\Domino\Data\**\**\    and *.ft

 

See http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH38995

So there is no "global" way to exclude a folder from anywhere in the path

EM-SERVER-01|D:\Lotus\Domino\Data\

could have multiple direcories at multiple depths that contain something.ft

ie

EM-SERVER-01|D:\Lotus\Domino\Data\hosting\blah.ft

or

EM-SERVER-01|D:\Lotus\Domino\Data\hosting\client01\app\blah4.ft
etc

Is there no way to globally tell backupexe to not backup anything *.ft irrelivent of the path?

I thought I would try adding something like this...

EM-SERVER-01|D:\Lotus\Domino\Data\**\*.ft
EM-SERVER-01|D:\Lotus\Domino\Data\**\**\*.ft
EM-SERVER-01|D:\Lotus\Domino\Data\**\**\**\*.ft
EM-SERVER-01|D:\Lotus\Domino\Data\**\**\**\**\*.ft

But I can't add more then one, it just keeps overwriting the last one..

I'm at a bit of a loss now...
