Hi Bill,
Thanks for the info, that was indeed very useful.
I used the bregex utility on my fileset, and found that my specification of the
RegexFile pattern was wrong, hence the job was excluding some files.
Thanks once again.

Hello Yateen,
There is a utility called `bregex` that you can use to test your regexes
against a list of files.
This way you don't have to run an actual backup and then list the files in it
to see if your regexes are correct.
If you just want to have your job list the files as it backs them up, edit your
Messages{} resource (the default one is
'Standard') and add the 'saved' option to the "Append = " and/or "Console ="
lines.
Keep in mind that this can slow backups down a bit since all files will now be
logged to a file, or to the console buffer (or
both) as they are backed up.
Best regards,
Bill
