Hi Tony Molloy and Bowie Bailey,

=====================
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = { 
'c$$' => [ 
'\Boot\*' 
'\Documents and Settings\*' 
] 
}; 

Isn't working, with / or \. It comes up with a failure to read the 
configuration file.... 

You need commas between the entries. 
=====================

I've edited the windows server.pl config file and added the following;

$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
  'c$$' => [
    '\Boot\*',
    '\Documents and Settings\*'
]
};

Unfortunately it has the error as follows;

NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED listing \Documents and Settings\*
This backup will fail because: NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED listing \\*
NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED listing \\*

It still isn't working unfortunately.

I've tried adding \\* in the .pl file as well but that causes the entire backup 
to not happen.

Any idea why this error still comes up?

Thank you.

Kind Regards,

gshergill
