Thanks Drew - you hit the nail on the head. There are other files bak files I don't want backed up from that directory.

Say this .bak file is in a directory with all the rest of the .bak files this Windows machine creates. If those are the only files and they're based off a timestamp or not, if you have an incremental backup that runs for the client and directory, the incremental will only pick up the new .bak file. Really no need to get fancy with wildcards or crazy regular expression type one liners to pick up one file per day. Unless there's other .bak files you don't want backed up from that directory, that'd really be the only reason to get fancy in your fileset and job created for it. -Drew No virus found in this incoming message.
