In fact, direcTIVEs. He suggested something like this:
Play with skip or allow rule, Adding a + (+skip/+allow) apply
the rule recusively
Backupign all dirs not beginning by 0.... to 9....
<< "E:\\" >>
skip: [A-Z]*.*
skip: [A-Z]*
skip: [a-z]*.*
skip: [a-z]*
backup dirs from L... to Z ....
<< "E:\\" >>
skip: [0-9]*.*
skip: [0-9]*
skip: [A-K]*.*
skip: [A-K]*
skip: [a-k]*.*
skip: [a-k]*
backup dirs from A... to K ....
<< "E:\\" >>
skip: [0-9]*.*
skip: [0-9]*
skip: [L-Z]*.*
skip: [L-Z]*
skip: [l-z]*.*
skip: [l-z]*

RE: [Networker] regular expressions
in saveset field?
Directives or Directories?
I did this with our monster file services server. But what we did was
design our file server around backup/archive services in that we created
4 MAIN directories and moved the other directories underneath them.
F:\stream1
5k directories/250GB
F:\stream2
5k directories/250GB
F:\stream3
5k directories/250GB
F:\stream4
5k directories/250GB
If you are using a product like ScriptLogic for drive/printer
assignments it makes it easy to make these changes without the users
even noticing...
Food for thought, hope you don't get food poisoning. /ALE
