Include only these dir and subdir

[joxers64]

HI There,

I have checked the previous posts on this and not really found an answer.

I would like to only backup 3 directories on my server:

DOMAIN All-Local -SYSTEMSTATE

*exclude everything
exclude *

*Include only these directories and sub directories
INCLUDE "C:\appfilder\*"
INCLUDE "C:\appfolder\...\*"
INCLUDE "C:\InetPub\*"
INCLUDE "C:\appfolder\...\*"
INCLUDE "D:\Backup\*"
INCLUDE "D:\Backup\...\*"

When i launch the client and check the incl via q incl it all looks fine:

[IMG]file:///C:/DOCUME%7E1/e431743/LOCALS%7E1/Temp/moz-screenshot.png[/IMG][IMG]file:///C:/DOCUME%7E1/e431743/LOCALS%7E1/Temp/moz-screenshot-1.png[/IMG]

Include FS *\*\* dsm_7yr.opt
Include All D:\Backup\...\* dsm_7yr.opt
Include All D:\Backup\* dsm_7yr.opt
Include All C:\appfolder\...\* dsm_7yr.opt
Include All C:\InetPub\* dsm_7yr.opt
Include All C:\appfolder\...\* dsm_7yr.opt
Include All C:\appfolder\* dsm_7yr.opt
Exclude All *\...\* dsm_7yr.opt
No DFS include/exclude statements defined.

When i run an 'i' it backs up as above but also the entire empty directory structure.

How can i get it to only check and backup the folders specified?

thanks

John

exclude is another name for exclude.file, which as you noticed... only affects files

You need to use another option, exclude.dir to affect directories.

Post #7 shows some examples of using exclude.dir in a range format

You will need to use Exclude.dir to exclude the directories not listed in your include statements.
