Jonathan, Here's what works for me: $Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = ['/hiberfil.sys', '/pagefile.sys', '/WUTemp', '/RECYCLER', 'UsrClass.dat', 'UsrClass.dat.LOG', 'NTUSER.DAT', 'ntuser.dat.LOG', 'parent.lock', '/WINDOWS/system32/config/SAM', '/WINDOWS/system32/config/SAM.LOG', '/WINDOWS/system32/config/SECURITY', '/WINDOWS/system32/config/SECURITY.LOG', '/WINDOWS/system32/config/default', '/WINDOWS/system32/config/default.LOG', '/WINDOWS/system32/config/software', '/WINDOWS/system32/config/software.LOG', '/WINDOWS/system32/config/system', '/WINDOWS/system32/config/system.LOG', '/WINDOWS/system32/CatRoot2/edb.log', '/WINDOWS/system32/CatRoot2/tmp.edb', '/WINDOWS/system32/CatRoot2/edbtmp.log', '/WINDOWS/SoftwareDistribution/EventCache/*', '*/Temporary Internet Files/*', '*/Temp/*', '*.tmp', '*.bak']; From what I have observed, no wildcard characters work, so I don't believe anything with a "*" is doing anything useful. I reject the idea of not backing up anything in Local Settings --- much of that stuff is EXACTLY what one NEEDS to back up. Yes, the exclusions on the second line *could* be problematic in some circumstances, as they don't limit the exclusions to the Local Settings folders, but I simply could not get wildcards working, so it was the best solution for me. If anyone can help with the wildcards, I can make this exclusion list work better.
