Exclude Wildcard any temp directories?

[David_Penrice]

Can anyone please let me know if it is possible to use a wildcard in the exclude section to stop 11D from trying to backup the temp folders?

I get a number of the following from my multiple servers :-

C:\Documents and Settings\xxxxx\Local Settings\Temp\mmc30BD5798.xml - skipped.  (xxxx of course being the current user).

And the above causes my backups to be complete with exceptions, which then sends an alerts etc etc

So I was hoping if you can exclude any temp folders without manually having to go in and select them as some servers have multiple logins.

Any advice would be great.

Thanks in advance.

To exclude all folders that end in .nosav or .nosave I used the following exclusion path:

J:\**\*.nosav
J:\**\*.nosave

and file pattern *.*.

The description of ** in the handbook is far from beeing clear :)

There seems to be also a bug in the GUI: you cannot edit these exclusions after having added them. You must delete and re-insert them.

You can try a path of

\\*\*\?\Temp   (any server\anyshare\any number of levels\Any "Temp" folder

or

\\*\*\*\*\Local Settings\Temp  to point directly to each users Local Settings\Temp folder

with a file mask of *.*    (all files) or *.XML  (any XML files)  etc
