Untested: File Set { Name = R-without-strangedir Include { Options { Exclude = Yes Regex File = "^.:/strangedir/.*" } Options { Signature = SHA1 } File = "r:/" } } The first options block should catch all files below strangedir (on any drive) and exclude them; everything else, i.e. directory entries and files in other trees, would be backed up.
