Hello Pete,

the excludenetworkfs works great, the Network directory looks empty in the
backup window GUI, 3.1.0.5

But the excluderemovablefs still allow to backup a floppy in A: or a CD-rom
in the E: unit!

I know we should not complain about that because these parameters are not
officialy supported...
