Hello everybody,

I backup a windows client with saveset "all" and now I need a directive for 
this case:
Skip a whole filesystem (g:\) but one subdirectory (g:\backup).
NetWorker Server is 7.2

Something like
<< "g:\" >>
+skip: *
notskip: backup

There was a thread on this a few months ago.
I don't think it's possible because the skip stops descending.  So once
it skips g:, it never gets to g:\backup to see that it should back it
up.

How about using the 'forget' ASM? Or is it possible to list another save set when using 'All'? I suspect not.

What how about simply enumerating the specific save sets like:

C:\
D:\
G:\backup

etc. Then you wouldn't need a second resource. Obviously, you'd have to ensure that nobody every created another file system on the host, though.
