So I need a directive that will skip all files, except a specific list of 
file types.  Specifically, I want to backup *only* media files in a 
certain folder - .WAV. .MP3, etc.  And to skip everything else. (this will 
give me a backup of only those media files. More importantly, it will give 
me a saveset that includes only those types .. and I can then use the info 
in that saveset to go and berate .. errr .. remind ... the users that 
they're not supposed to be saving that stuff).

(This would be on Windows 2003, BTW. NW 7.4.2)

Would it be:

<< H:\Users >>
        +skip:  .
        allow *.MP3
        allow *.WAV
etc etc etc

or is that what the "forget" directive does? I'm not completely following 
the Admin manual on this, and the examples don't show either "allow" or 
"forget: with parameters, like the "skip" directive has ...
