You can't put the exclusions on the command line--you have to use a created ..bks file which you can create using the gui.
Here's a recent example I used--much of it taken from a Microsoft KB article about how to use ntbackup:
I'm showing you a real-world example in daily use--don't worry about the excess stuff if you find it confusing--focus on the ntbackup line itself.
This is backing up to an external USB connected drive G, rather than tape--the ntbackup line would be somewhat different with switches for tape--I can dig up the tape version if you would find it useful--I've got it from the previous Windows 2000 server.

copylog copies the log file to a folder on the desktop, and also uses BLAT to mail it to a couple of folks:
---
del c:\tools\*.log
xcopy "c:\documents and settings\administrator.journal\local settings\application data\microsoft\windows nt\ntbackup\data\*.log" c:\tools
dir c:\tools\*.log /b /od >c:\tools\ordered.txt
echo %date% >c:\tools\copylogx.txt
echo %time% >>c:\tools\copylogx.txt
type c:\tools\copylog.txt >>c:\tools\copylogx.txt
rem c:\tools\uptime /s /a >>c:\tools\copylogx.txt
for /F "skip=9" %%1 IN (ordered.txt) do rename %%1 current.log
rem current.log is Unicode, so won't go in a text message.
type c:\tools\current.log >c:\tools\%dtt%.log
rem above converts current.log from unicode to ascii.
xcopy %dtt%.log "c:\documents and settings\administrator.journal\desktop\backup logs\" <f.txt
c:\tools\blat.exe c:\tools\copylogx.txt -t [email addresses go here] -s "%dtt% backup output" -attacht c:\tools\%dtt%.log
del ordered.txt
del copylogx.txt

This works--it's been running for some months now on a Windows Server 2003 machine. I'm sure some of it could be done more elegantly, but I haven't tinkered with it in a long time. It was "translated" from Windows 2000 to Windows Server 2003 a few months back when they got a new server.

Hi, I am using the NT command line backup system temporarily. I wanted to
know if there was any way of omitting files and/or directories from the
backup through the command line?
Thank You,
Vinny
