How to have policy level exclude granularity in Windows like we have in Unix

[sclind]

I have a windows server that has our standard C: and D: drives then also has an S: drive with two VERY large subdirectories.  They are so large I only want to do a full backup once a week and then a cumulative backup the other six days of the weeks. I can easily create a pair of policies to backup the two large directories but then I also want to make sure I have a third policy that covers the existing smaller subdirectories that exist plus any future ones that may get created.

On a Unix server I could create exclude files down to the policy name level but this does not seem to exist for Windows.

How can I create policies which would essentially be:

POLICY_LARGEDIR1
s:\largedir1

POLICY_LARGEDIR2
s:\largedir2

POLICY_EVERYTHINGE_ELSE
(everything on s: but the two large directories)

Yes, you can do it.  In the client host properties, configure an exclude list (using policy name of the 3rd policy to exclude the paths of the first two policies.

Aha!  - I never noticed that before. Let me see how that works out.
