I am in an environment with a large number of machines each requiring 
backups for different purposes.  As each machine is different in some 
way it has resulted in nearly 300 policies.  Each one backup up one or 
two directories.

I wanted to find out how other people are getting round this and 
reducing the number of policies.

I have seen some discussion about using include and exclude list to 
define what is backed up, but this can mean that you have to look at 
each client to find out what is backed up and the activity monitor when 
you look at it is not giving an accurate representation of backups.

Any feedback greatly appreciated.

James
