If I'm understanding the question correctly, this is easily done. I
don't know what transfer method you are using for backups and your
strategy may vary depending.
We use rsync for backups and only want to back up certain folders, but
not others. This can be done by sharing the parent folder with rsync on
the client and then limiting which folders inside get backed up with
each pc's config.pl on the server.
In your case you would share e$ with rsync and then limit it to Data and
the specific files in notes/data that you want.
So here's the relevant part of the client's rsync.conf we use.
[DocumentsAndSettings]
path = C:/Documents and Settings/<username>/
comment = stuff to back up
but we don't need to back up all of a users files (ie: music, videos,
etc..), only work related.
So on the backuppc server, that pc's config.pl might look something like
this:
$Conf{XferMethod} = 'rsyncd';
$Conf{RsyncdUserName} = 'backuppc';
$Conf{RsyncdPasswd} = '<password>';
$Conf{RsyncShareName} = 'DocumentsAndSettings';
$Conf{BackupFilesOnly} = ['My Documents', 'Desktop'];
$Conf{BackupFilesOnly} tells backuppc which files and folders to backup.
In this case we're backing up 'My Documents' and the 'Desktop'.
I've already globally excluded a bunch of file types (.mp3, .avi, .jpg,
.exe, etc...) in the server's config.pl so we don't get any music,
movies, pictures, installers, etc backed up.
There's pretty extensive documentation in the cygwin/rsyncd package on
sourceforge
(http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=34854) to help
you write your own.
I hope this helps.
