I have several servers that the backup jobs run for 10+ hours. Today's mess is 
a Windows server that has a huge D:, but much smaller C:, E: and F: drives. We 
want to do VSS backups. The general idea is to split the backup of this one 
server into two jobs.

If I do this:

FileSet {
  Name = "blah_a"
  Ignore FileSet Changes = yes
  Enable VSS = yes
  Include {
    Options {
      IgnoreCase = yes
      signature = MD5
      compression = LZ4
      DriveType = fixed
    }
    File = / # Means all drives
  }
  Exclude {
    File = "D:/" # Exclude biggest drive # ----
  }
}

and I watch in the tray monitor, it seems to scan all of the drives. Does the 
Exclude I put in get applied after the scan? The scan of the excluded drive 
takes 1-2 hours.

If I do this:

FileSet {
  Name = "blah_a"
  Ignore FileSet Changes = yes
  Enable VSS = yes
  Include {
    Options {
      IgnoreCase = yes
      signature = MD5
      compression = LZ4
      DriveType = fixed
    }
    File = C:/
    File = E:/
    File = F:/
  }
}

The backup job does not invoke VSS.

How can I backup some drives on a Windows box, use VSS and not have the 
unnecessary scanning going on?

Thanks.
