That will back up the directory structures in the unwanted directories, but
not the files.  If you can live with that then you're good to go.  If you
really want those directory structures excluded as well, you'll need to add
an exclude.dir statement for each one you don't want.  This is fine if
there aren't too many and if they don't change frequently, but otherwise
can get a bit cumbersome and hard to maintain.  Unfortunately (as you may
well already be aware), since exclude.dir statements are processed ahead of
anything else, there's no way that I am aware of to do that globally; your
include statements won't override it.

I'd be interested to know if anyone has found a more elegant way of
managing these sorts of exclusions myself--we usually just live with the
directories backing up, and exclude the files.

I think discussion took place some time ago and I was hoping to retrieve
something from saved email. Since I can't find anything specific maybe it
has not. The docs don't seem to be this specific but searches with 500+hits
are a little to lengthy for me.



If someone has done this I'd appreciate some help. There are multiple
drives
on this node but the owned is only concerned about a couple of folders on a
single drive, and everything else can be excluded. I figure if the DOMAIN
only shows the drive (he's not worried about systemstate either) that
fulfills part of it. I'm not sure how to EXCLUDE all the folders on that
drive except 2.



Would this work?



Exclude d:\...\*

Include d:\test1\*

Include d:\test2\*



Thanks for the help,
