Precede subdirectory paths with a forward slash (/), such as

/subdir1/subdir2

In addition to subdirectory paths, the Exclude Subdirectory option allows you to specify a directory name that might exist in multiple places on a volume. You indicate this intended action by specifying only a directory name with no forward slashes, and the directory name must contain at least one wildcard (such as ? or *). All instances of directories that match the specified directory name are excluded from the policy run.

For example, to exclude all GroupWise archive subdirectories, specify the following directory name with wildcards:
