Backup Central

Ok, So I didn't get much (any) response to my MSEXCH:MB question. Any help
there would be appreciated.

I'm also trying to work on a Client-Side Directive where we are backing up
17+ - 20+ GBs of data from a Sysco Server everyday on incremental backups.
It keeps adding up.

So, to test Client-Side Directives, I've been running tests on my laptop
(XP-SP2), and I have a .nsr file on the top level C: drive with:

+skip *.*

as the contents.

I did a full backup on my laptop, and it backed up about ~10GB of date from
my laptop.

Why didn't it skip all of my drive C:?

Other directive tests have me confused, so I'm trying to keep this question
as simple as possible.

Thanks,
Randy

Yes, the Windows directive now does what I think it should do using the nsr.dir file instead of .nsr. The Windows AG states this, but the Unix AG states .nsr.

Thanks,
