There is the BackupFilesExclude parameter in config.pl
I use this with rsyncd as the transfer method to skip files like
outlook.pst, *.pst etc.
Im not sure whether tar makes use of this parameter, i think it does,
Whoops, I think I spoke too soon. I think it was only deleting items
from the pool that had been cleaned out by another admin. I have
attached a quick script for cleaning up older directories. It is
definitely working.

This is the error we are getting.
