I'm trying to backup a directory and we are currently using multistreaming 
("Allow Multiple Data Streams").  We use the "Auto-discover Streaming Mode" 
feature since we use wildcards on our file list which currently consists of:
/dir/*

This creates a new stream for every file and sub-directory under "/dir" and 
this works for us since this data is located on very fast SAN disk and we limit 
the number of jobs per policy.

We have a couple of sub-directories that we would like to multistream even 
further since they contain the majority of the data.  Something along the lines 
of:
/dir/subdir/*

The question is how do we keep the administration simple, but at the same time 
not duplicate the data being backed up.  The sub-directories can vary in name 
and can be added or removed by our developers at any time, but they will always 
end in "data" in the sub-directory name.  I've tried this file listing 
configuration:
/dir/*
/dir/*data/*

but the "data" sub-directories are being backed up twice.

Any ideas on how to do this with a single policy?  

Is the answer to use 2 policies and have an exclude list on the first to 
exclude the specific sub-directories?

peace,
