I set them all up as new streams. (But doing that I will not catch any new directories they may create)
Last night all my jobs that had the > in the path to backup failed, and said no files exist. I will have to get creative on the selection process to get the dirs. I am going to try the suggestion from Donaldson to get my alpha list working.
