That doesn't make any sense to me... why not just use all local drives and 
exclude C:\ from that... Having and "exception to the exclude list" of D:\ 
doesn't make sense... D:\ isn't part of C:\... 

I would just use all local drives and exclude C:\...

Hi Patrick,

The ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES is specified on the server, and then the team who 
handles windows can setup the includes and excludes locally on their 
client, that allows the user to configure the backups as they please and 
not require any intervention from the server-side of things other than 
adding the client properly.

Example:

Exclude Lists:
<<All Policies>>
  << All schedules>>
C:\

Exceptions to the exclude list:
<<All schedules>>
D:\

Therefore, ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES backs up D:\ and System State and excludes 
C:\, this is how it has always worked and no errors and the data has been 
backed up successfully and tested via restore with no issues, the problem 
is with 7.0.1 and (maybe 7.0?) that it gets an error 90 for C:\ instead of 
just skipping it and exiting with a status 0, I think there was a tech 
note on this somewhere.

Justin.
