When creating a backup set it's simple to just de-select the recycle folders off of root folders, but what exclude command do you use to exclude /recycle folders from hundreds of subfolders?
\\Server\P:\Profiles\Username\Documents\
\\Server\P:\Profiles\Username\Pictures\
\\Server\P:\Profiles\Username\Recycle\ ( How can I exclude just this subfolder from all profiles? )
I am backing up a cluster of servers and I have a couple folders where there are easily a couple hundred user profiles, which in turn each holds a user's recycle folder within it. I tried google for answers but none of which work so far.
Software used: Symantec Backup Exec 2010 r3

Try using this exclude
\\*\*\*\*\Recycle\*.* /SUBDIR /EXCLUDE

Do I need to supply a path for each machine on my selection list, or is there a way to globally exclude them?
