Have you tried to create a inclexcl file to include these files? include d:\...*\usr\data1\user*\profile*\...\

I would like something like " dsmc selective d:\usr\data1\...\profile* " under the user-directory there are a lot of different directories, but I only want to selectively backup the profile-directories. Under data1 all directories are user directories. Thanks for any help Chris
