Windows FS dataset help - exlusion wildcards
Hi guys,
Relativly new to Avamar and basically been tasked with ensuring that our entire new installation is configured correctly.
I have a question around data-sets for Windows FS, currently I have a very long exlusion list becuase for each drive letter I have had to add the following exclusions:
C:\RECYCLER
C:\RECYCLE.BIN
C:\DISKEEPER
90% of our servers only have C/D/E drives, but the odd one can have letters across the board and all the way up to Z. While I fully understand the use of the '*' wildcard at the directory and file level would Avamar support the * at the drive level as per the below?
*\RECYCLER
*\RECYCLE.BIN
*\DISKEEPER
Thanks for the input.
Paul

Hello,
Yes, You may exclude using wildcard * at the drive level.
Thanks.
