Yeah. When you delete a directory, you need to refresh any select list that
would backup that drive.

It depends. I f you look on your selection in text mode and you have for
example:

\\server1\c$\folder1\.....

And folder1 is the delted one, you have to change it.
If you just have
\\server1\c$\*.*
in your selection, it is not necessary to do anything.

If you don't trust me: It is very simple to test.

I will try. This would save me some time. But the error only happens when I
delete ROOT folders. Not subfolders. I just added it to my routine, delete
ROOT folder, delete from Backup Exec or check at least in the text version.
Thx

OK, I just tried it for a folder in ROOT and it worked as expected wihtout
any error message.

I will recreate the job and try it again. Odd, when I delete the root
folder, it still remains in the Backup Exec window (using Text version to
view my jobs) but it is gone from the Graphical View setting. It appears
that the Graphic View is ok but the text version view does not get updated
on my server. Strange stuff at times.

I think we have a basic misunderstanding here:
I was talking about a folder, for example:
c:\folder1
and a backup selection
c:\*.*

If you have c:\folder1\... in your text version you have selected it explicitly.
And therefore you get an error message when the folder is no longer available.

The graphical version only shows the existing folders and files, so when
an explicitly selected (or excluded) file or folder is no longer available,
you can only delte the selction in the text version.
I usually have this case when a complete server is switched off. Of course
you cannot deselect non-existing servers in the graphical version.
