EXCLUDE.DIR stataments are prrocessed first and nothing else for a match. You need to change them to:
EXCLUDE "*:\...\Profiles\...\*" INCLUDE "*:\...\Profiles\My Documents" INCLUDE "*:\...\Profiles\Desktop" This will mostly do what you want. Only the files/directories in My Documents and Destop will be backed up, but the directories in everyting else under Profiles will be backed up, too. Just not the files.

I want to do the following: On our users H: drives they have a subdirectory called profiles. I want to keep 3 folders under this and exclude the rest. i.e. H:\user\profiles\cookies don't want to back up H:\user\profiles\My documents\ want to back this up H:\user\profiles\application data\ don't want to back up My opt files has the following: EXCLUDE.DIR "*:\...\Profiles" INCLUDE "*:\...\Profiles\My Documents" INCLUDE "*:\...\Profiles\Desktop" Yet, when I run this, it excludes the entire profiles directory, even though the include is at the bottom. Any ideas what I am doing wrong? Thanks, Mike
