Question 1)  When a new exclude statement is added to either an global or
client option files does it delete all previously backed up versions or just
start from the day the exclude was added?

I am trying to delete a directory and everything in it off all drives of a
server.  I  am using the two statements below.  I am deleting all the items
within the directories, but am still backing up the millions of empty
directories.  Below is what I have specified in the options file.  Can you
see what might be wrong with this?

        exclude *:\Op2IR\*
        exclude *:\Op2IR\...\*
        exclude *:\Op2IR\...\*.*


Here is what is showing up in the log when doing the scheduled backup:
