That looks pretty good. For 100% correctness, I think your Exclude should be
Wild = "C:/Documents and Settings/*" if you want to prevent backup of files at the top level or in the users' directories. I guess the phrase "you must include all ancestor directories of each directory containing files to be included" (from the manual) is a more cryptic way of saying what you found out below. __Martin >>>>> On Fri, 27 May 2011 13:38:51 -0500, Jake Debord said: > > Never mind, I figured it out on my own by tinkering with it.
