Stefan, Thanks very much. I had another suggestion of using resourceutilization but that doesn't help. The percent of total change in each incremental is small and I still end up scanning all 1M files. This looks more like what I need. I didn't realize that it was possible to put ranges within the exclude statements. I'll have to give it a try.
