Re: [BackupPC-users] Windows XP backup NOT entire drive just one or two folders
I found the searchable email list and found my answer. I made my conf file look like this and it worked fine! $Conf{SmbShareUserName} = 'domain_name\\admin'; $Conf{SmbShareName} = [ 'c$' ]; $Conf{BackupFilesOnly} = { 'c$' => ['/outlook'] }; >From what I can see it was the / rather than \ that did it Thanks to all!
