Maybe your Exclude syntax is wrong?
What I would worry about in using this technique is that if you are not careful, you could also exclude the *real* backup of those directories. Personally, I cannot get excited about a few extra lines of output in the job report. If someone *really* does not like them, just turn them off in the source, or pass the Job report output through a simple filter. > > __Martin > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Using Tomcat but need to do more?
