You can use client option sets (defined on the server, see DEFINE CLOPTSET, DEFINE CLIENTOPT, and UPDATE NODE CLOPTSET=nnn server admin commands) to control much of this behavior.
For example, you could define a server-side client option set that includes something like: exclude *:\...\*.mp3 exclude *:\...\*.wav exclude *:\...\*.avi exclude *:\...\*.jpg etc. Regards, Andy 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.ibm.com/software/sysmgmt/products/support/IBMTivoliStorageManager.html The only dumb question is the one that goes unasked. The command line is your friend. "Good enough" is the enemy of excellence.
