Hello,
<< "C:\" >>
+skip: \"WINNT\system32\Perflib_Perfdata*"


TRY
<< "C:\\"WINNT\system32\Perflib_Perfdata* .*">>
+skip: 
Please read networker guide on Directive, there is specific info there 
about how you can use space between * AND . in the directive, its easy to 
write a directive if you want to skip everything under a given directive, 
however, when you want to include and backup a subdirectory i cannot seems 
to get it to work.
The only way ( goofy) way i got that to work is to write a directive from 
local client, save it to txt file and then use it as a directive, not sure 
if i am doing it rith, i have some parse errors as directories are 
different on each servers, but seems to work.
Also you may want to pay attention to how directive are treated in windows 
enviroment vs unix, there is slight difference how you write them, 
discirption in the Networker guide.
