Because the format of an exclude file is in relative terms? The entry in the exclude file should have read: ./delete_now IIRC this should keep any directory or file so named from being backed up from a disklist dumptype entry that specifies that particular exclude file, and do so regardless of where in that directory tree this named file or dir might be located. Thats how I understand it, the real experts are free to correct me. :-) -- Cheers, Gene AMD K6-III@500mhz 320M Athlon1600XP@1400mhz 512M 99.22% setiathome rank, not too shabby for a WV hillbilly
