I do not mean to be disagreeable, but my testing has indicated that you cannot exclude a drive in Windows with an exclude or exclude.dir command. I use the domain -z: and that works. This may also have to do with versions and other stuff. Andy Huebner -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist

eject tapes from 3584

Minor correction and comment to my prior post on this subject: CORRECTION In my prior note on this subject, I wrote: So between those two EXCLUDE statements, just about everything on z: is excluded. The lone exception, that you can't bypass, is the root of z: itself. Thus the first time you run:
