The option subdirectory=yes needs to be included in the statement.
your backup script would read:
dsmc selective -subdir=yes "/documentum/" "/oracle7/"
Try this. if it doesn't work (which it should) let us know..

Subject: selective backup?
I use the selective backup function to do a daily backup of 2 directories in
one of my servers. It is run via crontab, this is how the script file looks
like
dsmc selective "/documentum/" "/oracle7/"
However, I realise when I do it, it doesn't quite seem to back up the
directories below that of these 2 directories? I have read through the
selective help under dsmc, and it says when you put a slash after the
directory, it would back up the file system for that directory. When I run
the script manually, this is what I get.
From what I understand, directories below the /documentum and
/oracle7 are not backed up? How is it possible for me to backup the entire
directory then, i.e to do a recursive directory backup of these 2
directories?
Many Thanks in Advance.
