I think [^(My Documents)] is wrong here anyway, because it matches any single
character not in the set of chars '(', 'M', 'y', space, 'D', etc. There is no
regex "not" operator, so you can't create a regex that matches when a subregex
fails to match.
The trick is to include what you need and then exclude the rest,
i.e. something like this:
Include{
Options{
# Include these.
WildDir = "c:/Documents and Settings/*/My Documents"
}
Options{
# Exclude everything else.
Exclude = yes
Wild = "c:/Documents and Settings/*/*"
}
File = "c:/Documents and Settings/"
}
Note that this will include entries for the directories "c:/Documents and
Settings/" and "c:/Documents and Settings/*/" themselves, but not their
contents. This is necessary to make Bacula look inside them to find the "My
Documents" directory.
