Hello all, I'm new to this site, but so far liking all the info it provides. I've been in the IT world for the past 20-25 years but much more hardware and software versus any programming and scripting. I am an IT Desktop Support at my company and trying to modify a USB backup drive I use for my end-users data backup and restore after replacing their computer. Hoping someone can help me with the coding portions.

So, here's what it does. I have two version on the same USB drive. One is for the currently logged on user, and it backs up only that user's files and folders, and then can restore to the domain user profile after they log in for the first time. The other option is I log in as domain admin, and use powershell as admin to run a batch file that backs up ALL users active within the last 60 days. Both of these options back up Downloads/Documents/Videos/Pictures/Desktop/Favorites, and even gets some outlook signatures and their PST and OST files.

Now, what I want to modify is to remove the code that backs up the "documents" folders because those are synced to a network drive, and I also want it to NOT backup the .OST files. In the near future, I will also want to modify it again to not backup downloads and desktop, because those will be redirected folders soon. No reason to spend the extra time to backup folders that will be handled by the servers. Currently in it's form, the average end user that has about 20GB of data to backup, takes a good 30 minutes to an hour to pull off onto my USB drive, mostly because of large OST's, and then the documents folder which isn't needed. So, I'll post what code I have now in the custom.xml, and the miguser.xml, and if anyone can reply with the right code to add or remove I'd greatly appreciate it.

So, on the miguser.xml, if I take out the two sections talking about my documents, will that indeed make it not backup the documents folders? On the custom.xml, what needs to be added to make it exclude any and all *.OST files? Thank you again.

Glad to hear you are liking the sitre! That being said, this isn't really a Powershell question. It is about USMT configuration. Not quite sure which forum that woukd be best asked in, but definitely not Powershell (USMT, as far as I know, runs in a command shell, not Powershell)

Thanks, I couldn't find which forum it would fall under either, and figured this was best chance because I use Powershell to run the scripts.
