How do you exclude an entire drive i.e. a CD juke box?

                Hello,
                what the adsm documentation is trying to tell
                you is that you can use the following :

                exclude.dir  /rxv*

                and that will exclude all directories starting with
                rxv charcaters. In this case, it would exclude
                /rxv001 through /rxv150, which is what Gail
                asked originally.

                Have a great day !

                You are correct, but regardless of whether it is valid
syntax to
                use wildcards in an 'exclude.dir' directive, the examples
given
                were not logical. What the examples in the original message
                indicated was "find all of the subdirectories of this
directory
                and exclude them and all of their subdirectories". By virtue
of
                the firs part ("find all of the subdirectories of this
                directory") you've basically nullified any benefit of using
the
                exclude.dir directive. Sure, you won't make any directory
entries
                in the database, but you'll walk the entire tree, knowing in
                advance that you are walking the tree with absolutely no
                intention of backing anything up from that tree.
