Happy Thanksgiving all!
    Now on to business.  I am running NBU 4.5 MP5 on Win2k SP4.  When
backing up my fileserver I've noticed that there exists in every users
home directory a hidden sub directory called "my documents/recycler".
After doing some additional research I found this is the default
behavior of windows networks where the windows admin redirects users
documents to the network.  In and of itself it is a good idea but most
don't realize that now every user has (2) recycle bins!  One on the
local pc and one on the fileserver windows fools us by not showing two
recycle bins on the desktop.  Add to this the default setting that
permits each recycle bin to hold up to 10% of the capacity of the host
volume.  So if you have a server with a 400 gig home drive each user can
have up to 400meg of deleted documents sitting there.  Multiply that by
the number of users ,let's say 100, you now have "4 gigs of deleted data
being backed up.
    Now my question:  Can I tell NBU to skip any directory with the name
"Recycler"?  or can I tell NBU not to backup and hidden directories on a
specific volume?
