Question about exluding a directory in script

[justanotheruser]

Thanks, Dave

I will try to get some more background knowledge on the symlink to be better aware of what I'm doing (this method was not clear to me as I was reading the manual, either)
In the meantime, I will try to think of some method of partitioning the large external drive, I agree this would be the best thing to do. I have a large .sparseimage folder that contains all the data from the old HD that died, and I'm hesitant to trash it just right now (just in case).
