Thank you for the response....

Are you saying that when I perform a restore, the dsm.opt file is used to
exclude files to be restored as well as excluding files to be backed up?

I know the dsm.opt file is used to exclude files from being backed up.  I
did not know it can be used to exclude files / directories from being
restored.

Do I understand what you are telling me?

Thank You
