I currently have several windows server backup clients that i use
volume shadow to backup the data, i use a pre script that lauches the
shadow and maps it to drive B on the windows box and then backuppc
backups B over rsync then a post script to kill the volume shadow.
What i would like to do is create an exclude list to only backup
certain files on the volume shadow (sql dbs, exchange info, my docs
etc.)  but im a little confused as to how to go about it.  I found the
post here: http://www.mail-archive.com/backuppc-users AT lists.sourceforge DOT 
net/msg08595.html
where someone was able to make a filter.txt file and create the list,
but that was for a linux client.  How would i make a list like that
for a windows client? Would i have to use paths like B:\blah or B\? or
just \Documents and settings\, \program files\mssql7\ etc? Also, would
it exclude everything else but whats in the file?  Trying to make sure
i havent duplicated anything here or have overlapping configuration.

Thanks for any advice you can give. this is the first time ive
attempted to weed out files from being backed up.
