Never mind, I figured it out on my own by tinkering with it. I will post a code snippet in case someone searching runs across it may be able to understand better. Thank you Martin for your advise, it just was not clear enough for me to understand. What I needed to do was add a separate entry for every level of the folders.
Note for every folder you want to backup you need a start location, and an entry for every level of folders after until you reach the folder you want to back up. Ex: FileSet { Name = HmcBackup Include { File = "C:/Documents and Settings" Options { IgnoreCase = yes Compression = GZIP1 RegExDir = "^C:/Documents and settings/[^/]+$" WildDir = "C:/Documents and Settings/*/My Documents" WildDir = "C:/Documents and Settings/*/Local Settings" WildDir = "C:/Documents and Settings/*/Local Settings/Application Data" WildDir = "C:/Documents and Settings/*/Local Settings/Application Data/Microsoft" Wild = "C:/Documents and Settings/*/My Documents/*" Wild = "C:/Documents and Settings/*/Local Settings/Application Data/Microsoft/*" } Options { Exclude = yes WildDir = "C:/Documents and Settings/*/*" } } } On Fri, May 27, 2011 at 1:15 PM, Martin Simmons <mar...@lispworks.com> wrote: > The short answer is the lines that say "Ditto..." in the example. > > My advice is to start again with the example fileset and understand exactly > how it works, including the "Firstly..." and "Secondly..." text just above it, > which is critical to why your fileset doesn't work. > > __Martin > > >>>>>> On Fri, 27 May 2011 10:28:58 -0500, Jake Debord said: >> >> That is the example I started from.
