Hi Diane,

I have three directory trees (each is it's own file system) that I wish to
skip from being backed up.

In /prod/.nsr I have the following:

<< /prod/db >>
skip:  *.*
<< /prod/docs >>
skip:  *.*
<< /prod/www >>
skip:  *.*

AFAIK The << ... >> syntax is only for the global (server-side) directives. The directives inside a .nsr file always work from that directory.

So in this case I suppose the file should contain:

skip: db docs www

or perhaps even better,

null: db docs www


the difference is that, when restoring, an empty directory is created in the latter case.

greetings,

Dennis
