Does anybody know how to edit a batch file (for tape backups) to NOT include
certain folders example, we do not want it to backup the
"d:\completed_projects" folder.
Thanks!

Thanks so much! All this time I have been searching for a command line that
would allow me to exclude 2 folders, when I could just edit the file to tell
it to copy only the other 10 folders that I want copy. I don't know why I
did not think of that, but thank you so much!!!
