Hi guys,
Thanks for all the help with the backup pc.
Unfortunately I couldn't get Windows Server 2008 to work, but for that it is
okay as we have none in the office that require a backup (but planned to in the
near future).
Thanks again for making such a great product that is free, and a very

Hi guys,
It's all working now for Windows Server 2003.
The underlining issue was that the Excludes need to use \ instead of /.
After that was changed I kept re-running the backup and adding excludes to the
directories that failed and now it works (pretty long exclude list...).
The error;

Okay I see the issue, there is no such folder called Documents and

Tried to create the folder, Windows doesn't let me.

Any idea why it's even looking for Documents and Settings?

It is hidden link Microsoft included so when migrating

Hi,
Good news if you got it working.
As for Documents Settings, on a windows 7 or windows 2k8 you can remove
them from the backup. They are links for backward compatibility. But you
have to backup the folder Users in exchange.

You need to exclude /proc from your backups. It's a virtual file
system maintained by the kernel, and does not need to be backed up.
Here's the excludes we use for Linux hosts:

'/dev',
'/proc',

Try this:

Please refer to the abundant documentation on this topic. Here's a good

From reading the config file it seems you need to add the '*' part that Ray
