Hello,
One question about filtering in Arcesrve 2000

If I want to backup an entire drive irrespective of what files existed on the drive
when the backup was created, I have to select the drive from the root i.e. c:\, d:\
etc and don't deselect any files of folders! When I set my job up
like this Arcserve will backup everything on the disk even when files
are added and deleted ( except where something is excluded with a filter).
If I deselect any directory or file when you create job, in future Arcserve will backed up
only directories and files which existing in moment of creating Job!
This is default behavior of Arcserve and is very disappoint, if you have e.g. 10000 directories on disk and don't want
backup e.g.. 1000 different directories. In this case I have to make 1000 entries in filter list!!!!
Horribly!

My question is: Is it possibly to change this default settings of Arcserve. I want select some directories for backup and if I later add some directories (through MSExplorer e.g.) in previously selected directories for backup they also will be backed up! Without using filters!
