I want to exclude the same folder and subfolders with different drive letters as in the example below.
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Data\
D:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Data\
E:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Data\
F:\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Data\
Would **\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Data\ work along with the "Also Exclude Subfolders" box checked?
or do I need **\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Data\**
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks BakerRL

Based on this document, your first solution is the correct one.
**\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Data\
would work, and so would
**\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Data\
or
**\MSSQL\Data\
Note, that the trailing \ is required for this to reference a directory. Using ** at the end, would, well, I am not sure how that would be interpreted, but I believe it would interpret this as a File exclusion.
Good luck,
