Hi!

I would like to backup a following directory structure:

/store/smith.a-Inbox/
/store/smith.a-Sent/
/store/smith.a-spam/
/store/jefferson.j-Inbox/
/store/jefferson.j-Sent/
/store/jefferson.j-spam/
/store/jefferson.j-myjob/
...

All directories contains files.

I would like to backup all files and dirs EXCEPT FILES in /store/*.*-spam

I need a directive like:
<</store/*.*-spam>>
skip *


but networker said he doesn't like wildcards in directory specification.

My second guess is put .nsr file in all of *.*-spam directories, but maybe there is a better way?

Thanks in advance.
