Re: [Networker] Excluding files during an incremental

Hi Matt,

What a fine idea !!  As George Sinclair suggested, the only other way I
could think of doing it involved creating two client definitions, two new
server-side directives, and excluding the archives folders as required
through the directives. I'm going to code up Matt's idea though (lack of
licenses and all)

Thank you both for your time in replying

Regards

Simon Delicata
