Excluding Windows Users Folder

Question

Hi there, I've got a headache trying to configure tricky Dataset: - Need to backup only some Users directories (Favorites, My documents, Desktop) - Need to exclude some file types: .mp3, .wma - Need to exclude some user accounts: Public, All Users, Admin*.... So I've setted the Dataset as: Source Data: #USERDOCS#\*\Favorites #USERDOCS#\*\My documents #USERDOCS#\*\Desktop Exclusions: *.mp3 *.wma #USERDOCS#\Public\ #USERDOCS#\Public\* #USERDOCS#\Admin* #USERDOCS#\Admin** #USERDOCS#\All Users Inclusions: (none) The source data make the correct directories backupped, but can't exclude unwanted Users. Any Idea ? Many Thanks.

I have partial solution, with some base rules:

- Exclusions must be sub-objects fo Source Data paths:

Source data: #USERDOCS#\*\Favorites, Exclusions: #USERDOCS#\Public\ => Wrong because "Public" directory is higher than #USERDOCS#\*\Favorites.

- #USERDOCS# is not expanded in Exclusions / Inclusions: must specified full directory ( C:\Users\toto in W7)

- ** curse is not officialy supported but somtimes gives good results...

- Multiple complexe filters must be done in separate DATASET
