This is not strictly true.

The *.* will include/exclude all files **with a file extension**.

You should use * to exclude all files, whether they have an extention or
not.

I would use;

Exclude "*"
Include "c:\backup\...\*"  'MCLASS'

All the best

Hello,

What is the correct exclude/include statement if I want to exclude
everything files, folders and system objects on a w2k box with  5.1.6.0
client, except for C:\Backup\*.
