On a Windows workstation/server you we associate the include files with the
DESKTOP managements class by putting the name of the management class next to
the include statement.  Example:

       EXCLUDE ?:\...\*
       INCLUDE   d:\backup  DESKTOP

Otherwise, ADSM defaults to using the "active" management class - in your
case the one with 7 copies being kept.

Hi All
Hi All

    I am trying to accomplish the following:

    o I want to restrict desktops to be able to backup ONLY files in d:\backup
and its subdirectories and have ONLY two copies of each file. I do not want
the
clients to be able to backup anything else nor do I want them to be able to
keep
more than two copies of a file. I would like to control all these at the
server
end, otherwise sophisticated users will modify the files on the client side
(dsm.opt or dsm.sys) to bypass these restrictions.

    o So, I defined a management class called DESKTOP  under the STANDARD
policy
domain. This defines two copies of every file as opposed to 7 copies defined
in
the STANDARD management class.

    o I define a client option set in which has three client options, with
force
set to yes:

       INCLEXCL,0:   inclexcl exclude ?:\...\*
       INCLEXCL,1:   inclexcl include d:\backup
       SUBDIR,0:  yes

    and I use this client option set in the client node definition for a
client
ABCD.

    o I do not see any way I can force the server to use DESKTOP management
class for client node ABCD. As a result it is still using the STANDARD
management class.

    Any help is very much appreciated.
