Hi, The manuals do not go into much detail regarding directives, and I need
help.  Since we don't have a service contract, I need YOUR help.

I have an NT client that I do a full backup on every weekend and
incrementally the rest of the week.  It has 3 drives (C:, E:, and F:).  The
problem is that the index for this client is about 3.8GB.  I only have
3.3GB free on the Networker server.  The index for the E: is 3.5GB.  Upon
further investigation, the E: has about 1.8 Million Files on it.  They are
being added to twice a month.

I need help with creating 2 directives.
First directive to backup everything BUT NOT the E:.  (i.e.  C:, F:, System
DB:\, System FILES:\, System STATE:\)
Second directive to backup only E: and not the others.

My thinking is to continue backing the client up with the first directive
on it's normal schedule.
Create a new schedule and only backup E: with the second directive twice
monthly.  I am thinking this should cut my index size in half after I
reclaim some of the space.

Thank you for your support.
Carl
