But nevertheless, it should give you a feel for the syntax. What you are probably looking for is something a little more like this; as per your example. Exclude.dir "M:\manam\200[2-5]*" N.B. This will also exclude the directory M:\manam\2002must_be_backed_up This could be an issue. It is always good policy to be as explicit with your excludes as possible. The classic example is setting up a home directory for a "temp" and calling their home directory "temp", but having a high level global exclude for directories called "temp". Especially, if the temp is filling in as PA for the finance director. Obviously, I am speaking from an experience of a friend, not myself you understand!

I need to exclude thousands of directories starting :"2002","2003","2004","2005" (Example:M:\Manam\20040505) in a win3k client, so that i'll state only to first 4 chars. Can anyone write me the correct syntax? Many Thanks!
