Hi all,

        I have been through all the documentation I can find, and still don't 
know if 
it's possible to exclude a directory from a windows (smb) backup. I have the 
following as my dumptype, and PAGEFILE.SYS is ignored but nothing else:

define dumptype comp-smb {
    root-tar
    comment "Root partitions with compression"
    compress client fast
    exclude "./TuxDownloads"
    exclude "./Documents and Settings\Casey Scott"
    exclude "./WINNT\system32\config"
    exclude "./PAGEFILE.SYS"
    dumpcycle 0
}

Do I have to name every file that I want to be ignored, or is there just a 
syntax mistake with the directory declarations?

Thanks,
Casey Scott
