No, it's just one of the bad things that happens when I try to
multitask. :-) I can barely walk and chew gum at the same time...

The concern expressed by John Underdown, though, is valid. If you need the
existing backups, excluding them will delete them. If you don't need the
backups for these dirs, then yes, the excludes I showed you (minus the
finger-checks) should work, and exclude.dir won't do the scan.

And yes, re: journaling, completing the first backup (and any subsequent
backups when the journal resets) on a 32-bit Windows system with those dirs
included will be a challenge, unless you use MEMORYEFFICIENT=YES or
MEMORYEFFICIENT=DISKCACHEMETHOD; the latter will require a good chunk of
available disk space up front, see the client manual description of this
option for more info).

Best regards,

Andy

The only dumb question is the one that goes unasked.
The command line is your friend.
"Good enough" is the enemy of excellence.
