Recycle folder data

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

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

The exclude statement provided by  pkh

\\*\*\*\*\Recycle\*.*
