If you want to back up all files immediately below "My Documents" and "Desktop" (but not subdirectories of these directories), then don't forget the terminating '\*':
EXCLUDE *:\...\Profiles\...\* INCLUDE "*:\...\Profiles\My Documents\*" INCLUDE "*:\...\Profiles\Desktop\*" or if you want subdirectories as well of "My Documents" and "Desktop": EXCLUDE *:\...\Profiles\...\* INCLUDE "*:\...\Profiles\My Documents\...\*" INCLUDE "*:\...\Profiles\Desktop\...\*" Regards, Andy Andy Raibeck IBM Software Group Tivoli Storage Manager Client Development Internal Notes e-mail: Andrew Raibeck/Tucson/[EMAIL PROTECTED] Internet e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] IBM Tivoli Storage Manager support web page: http://www.ibm.com/software/sysmgmt/products/support/IBMTivoliStorageManager.html The only dumb question is the one that goes unasked. The command line is your friend. "Good enough" is the enemy of excellence.
