Thank you for your reply; I would like to exclude all .bak files from ever being backed up (in any share and its subfolders) but i cannot figure out how to do this. I used the "*" for all shares but it only excludes .bak files from the root of each share NOT their subfolders. Is this more clear? Thanks for your help. -Steven
