Wildcard (%Username%) question

[gilbert_leroux]

When creating a backup selection in DLO is there any way to use the wildcard option to specify a location to backup?

Example:
C:\Documents and Settings\%Username%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook

When I did a search this was the only thread I could find on the subject.

I know there must be a way to do this, because there are pre-defined backup selections for "My Documents" and "Favorites" that only backup the current user's profile.

Hello,


Do you want to specify a wildcard for the logged in user and backup the Favorites and Outlook directory .

It is not possible to specify a wildcard for the logged in user but you can try the following to include just the Favorites and Outlook directory :

1. Go to 'Configure Desktop and Laptop option'

2. Right click 'Profiles'. Click 'Properties'.

3. Under the 'BackupSelection'. Click 'Add'.

4. Under 'Type a Folder name': specify the folder to backup example: currentusername\Favorites




Thank You,

Shweta

I did that to create my wildcard backup selection (C:\Documents and Settings\%Username%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook) in the first place but it doesn't work, and I can't specify each individual account name in the company it would be way to many.
