Hi Eric, I think you need to use exclude.dir, like this:
define clientopt myoptset inclexcl "exclude.dir /tech/splunk" Regards, Andy Andrew Raibeck IBM Storage Protect Level 3 stor...@us.ibm.com -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager <ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU> On Behalf Of Skylar Thompson Sent: Monday, 26 February, 2024 11:07 To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: [EXTERNAL] Re: Fiddling with exclude statement Do you have DIRMC set? My experience is that supersedes any normal exclude rules, though would only backup the directories and not their contents. I think exclude.dir would work to exclude that path and avoid the directories being backed up, though.
