No, I hadn't tried BackupFilesExclude as that would involve itemizing each file in C:\ as well as most of the folders. While I wouldn't expect new folders to crop up, I don't know what new files might appear in the future. In any case, it seems that might be my next step.

The single hard drive has separate CODE and DATA partitions The DATA partition backs up easily, but I have problems with the CODE. I don't want to waste the space required to backup all of the Windows executables, but do want backups of \Users and possibly \ProgramData, \Program Files, and \Program Files (x86) as well as any others that may be recommended. I've tried a number of techniques using BackupFilesOnly that consistently backs up files for C:\ as well as from many, but not all, of the other folders. I know this question must have been asked many times before, but is there a sample configuration that I can use to stop beating my head against a wall? Thanx!
