I have been running BackupPC for 2 years and everytime I add a client PC (XP 
Pro) to be backed up I manually add the machine and its folder paths.
This can lead to much confusion as everytime a different user starts or a 
machine is moved the configs all need to be changed. 

I would like to backup:

c$\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Desktop
c$\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\My Documents

I have to change the script for every user....  [Rolling Eyes] 
I tried a wildcard  

c$\Documents and Settings\*\Desktop

But the wildcard just throws a path error? Is this possible? 
I would like to just backup the whole subnet of clients based on IP (all 
profiles desktop and documents is fine) That way I will not miss anyone!
But cannot get BackupPC to accept a wildcard?
Any help greatly appriciated.

Tony
