hi,

Those were all of my includes just /raid and /data.

I will update the configuration to your suggestion

$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
     '/raid' => [
       '/data/WBM_Spool',
     ]
};

I should be able to check the log file before the work day is out and 
make sure it is working.

Thank you.

Mark
