I'm alittle confused about how some of the parameters in the automatic
scheduler and the OPT file fit together.  When its working correctly,
does the OBJECT parameter of the scheduler override
processing in the OPT file?  For example, if I have an incremental scheduled
with OBJECT='C:/DOCS/*' (please read backslash for slash), will only my
DOCS subdirectory get scanned and backed up, or will it still do my whole
C: drive?

In a little more complicated scenario, if my domain as C: in my OPT file
and I specify OBJECT='D:' in the schedule, will both drives be backed up or
only D:?

Finally, if I have an exclude like:

EXCLUDE D:*.DAT

in my OPT and the schedule specifies OBJECT='D:', will the exclude be honored?
That is, will OBJECT override whatever is in my Include/Exclude statements,
or does each file go through them regardless of the domain or object
specifications?

I'm in the process of experimenting with this in order to develop a backup
strategy for our LAN servers.  I want to be able to direct operating system
and application software files to tape while directing user files to DASD.
The only way I can figure to do this is to have two different management
classes, the default going to DASD and a special one going to tape.  I could
have Include statements that would direct OS2, etc. subdirectories to the
special management class.  The servers are also partitioned by drives with
the system on C:, applications on D:, etc.  Therefore, I could also use
the OBJECT parameter to only dump certain drives at certain times.

This will work great if the Include/Exclude processing still takes place
even when you specify OBJECT and Incremental on the schedule.

Anyone know for sure?
