Try the following. Add
Exclude.dir e:\dir1 Exclude.dir e:\dir2 . . . For each major tree on the e: drive. This will keep tsm from traversing the trees at all. More administration, but the only thing I can think of. Exclude.dir is processed before standard excludes, therefore you cannot exclude.dir e:\ then include what you wanted. Hope this helps.

Is there some way to avoid TSM backing up the sub folder structure from all the other excluded directories...?? +---------------------------------------------------------------------- |This was sent by gibi...@gmail.com via Backup Central. |Forward SPAM to ab...@backupcentral.com. +----------------------------------------------------------------------
