You would add .MKV and .ASF also.

Sure ... we also skip SQL database files (which won't back up anyway,
as they're held open by the SQL process, and we use the SQL Agent or
backup a flat file .BAK copy). And a couple standard lock file types,
too. I based the filetypes on a search of the file index that we
backed up, from use home folders. I'm sure I could put other file
types there. We skip such stuff on in the \USERS folder; this way, if
the training department makes up a video for use on our portal, that
gets saved in a departmental share, and so would get backed up, as the
directive only explicitly looks at the \USERS folder.
(most of the media files I came across are audio, very few AVI or
other video formats)

SKIP: will completely ignore the file, not even recording the name in
the index; a NULL: will not backup the file, but will at least keep
the name in the index.

I have a directive in my backup program (EMC Networker) to SKIP any
media types (.WMV/.MP3/etc) that are under the \USERS folder (i.e.,
the home profile locations).
