Question 1) When a new exclude statement is added to either an global or client option files does it delete all previously backed up versions or just start from the day the exclude was added?
I am trying to delete a directory and everything in it off all drives of a server. I am using the two statements below. I am deleting all the items within the directories, but am still backing up the millions of empty directories. Below is what I have specified in the options file. Can you see what might be wrong with this? exclude *:\Op2IR\* exclude *:\Op2IR\...\* exclude *:\Op2IR\...\*.* Here is what is showing up in the log when doing the scheduled backup: 09/14/2001 02:11:21 Directory--> 0 \\imgsqlac\f$\Op2IR\Data\Opexpor2\20010913\1751854-722318-1713059 [Sent] 09/14/2001 02:11:21 Directory--> 0 \\imgsqlac\f$\Op2IR\Data\Opexpor2\20010913\1751854-736627-1708252 [Sent] 09/14/2001 02:11:21 Directory--> 0 \\imgsqlac\f$\Op2IR\Data\Opexpor2\20010913\1751854-736633-1708250 [Sent] 09/14/2001 02:11:21 Directory--> 0 Thanks Karen Mikacenic TSG 425 945 5137 425 562 5257 (fax) [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unigard Insurance 15805 NE 24th St. Bellevue, WA 98008
