Bit of strange request i know. It seems to have worked putting all_local_drives in and then excludeing *.* and including *.bak but i can think this will have a performance hit. The issue is we dont know what partitions have the *.bak files on it as they are san attached volumes and the DB guys could put them anywhere. Need a policy to to try and capture them without specifying too much.
