Help with include exclude

[maktsm]

Hello,
I am facing problem with my backups. Below are the include-exclude options that i mentioned in clopset

clopset:-

INCLEXCL 0 No EXCLUDE F:\*
INCLEXCL 1 No EXCLUDE.dir F:\*
INCLEXCL 2 No EXCLUDE G:\*
INCLEXCL 3 No EXCLUDE.dir G:\*
INCLEXCL 4 No EXCLUDE C:\*
INCLEXCL 5 No EXCLUDE.dir C:\*
INCLEXCL 6 No EXCLUDE E:\...\*
INCLEXCL 7 No INCLUDE E:\Backups\...\*
INCLEXCL 8 No INCLUDE E:\Images\...\*
INCLEXCL 9 No INCLUDE E:\age\...\*
INCLEXCL 10 No INCLUDE E:\work\...\*
--------------------------------------------------------------------
The only '4' folders i need to backup are the ones which included and the system object which i have mentioned in the dsm.opt(Include.Systemobject ALL STANDARD). But the problem is that before backing up anything the scheduler processes 7 million files, whereas the included folders contain just about 50 thousand files altogether, with the result that backups run forever and never seem to complete,running for about 15 hrs or so. Can anyone advice how to fix this issue?

Orignially my options file(dsm.opt) looked like below but even then the option EXCLUDE "*:\...\*" was acting like non-existant and all the drives were getting backed up for some reason and the backups were running formore than 24 hrs even then, thats when i changed the inclexcl and defined this cloptset but even this gives me issues.
--------------------------------------
dsm.opt:
EXCLUDE "*:\...\*"
INCLUDE "E:\Backups\...\*"
INCLUDE "E:\Images\...\*"
INCLUDE "E:\age\...\*"
INCLUDE "E:\work\...\*"
Include.Systemobject ALL STANDARD
--------------------------------------



HELP PLEASE
