If you choose to use a directive to exclude a
complete drive, leave the '+' in place, that is
'+skip: *.*'. This goes for Windows, not sure about
UNIX:
'skip: *.*' will exclude all files under the specified
path, but not the directories. This means that all
files and subdirectories in any subdirectory to the
specified path will be backed up.
'+skip: *.*' means all recursive files under the
specified path will be excluded.
Apart from that George is on the spot. You might want
to have a look at NULL. The difference betwwen NULL
and SKIP, is that NULL will record the excluded files
in the file index, which SKIP doesn't.
If you don't want to use directives (except for
C:\Program Files\Exchsrv), you can specify the
following savesets:
C:\
SYSTEM STATE:
SYSTEM FILES:
SYSTEM DB:
// Matts
