EXCLUDE.DIR statements should not end with the directory delimiter. Right: EXCLUDE.DIR C:\MyDir Wrong: EXCLUDE.DIR C:\MyDir\
Also note that EXCLUDE.DIR is alway processed before INCLUDE or EXCLUDE, so sandwiching EXCLUDE.DIR between other INCLUDE or EXCLUDE statements implies a processing sequence that does not match actual processing, and could confuse others. A more accurate positioning of these statements would thus be: exclude /.../* include /data/.../* exclude /.../SSC* exclude /.../ssc* exclude.dir /data/xyz/abctest/fehler/ exclude.dir /data/xyz/fpcp/fehler/ exclude.dir /data/abc/abctest/fehler/ exclude.dir /data/abc/abctest/tmp/ exclude.dir /data/abc/bwup/fehler/ exclude.dir /data/abc/bwup/fehler/ exclude.dir /data/tmp/ exclude.dir /data/abc/abctest/logs/ exclude.dir /data/xyz/abctest/logs/ Andy Raibeck IBM Software Group Tivoli Storage Manager Client Development Internal Notes e-mail: Andrew Raibeck/Tucson/[EMAIL PROTECTED] Internet e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] IBM Tivoli Storage Manager support web page: http://www-306.ibm.com/software/sysmgmt/products/support/IBMTivoliStorageManager.html The only dumb question is the one that goes unasked.
