Version 3 has not given me any problems with NW4.x, not sure about version
5.X
I use it as follows:  Load dsmc incr \directory  to just backup the NDS
structure.
or add the Domain   directory:   statement to the dsm.opt file to back it up
all the time.
you do not need to use wildcards with the directory statement, I have not
actually gotten a Include/Exclude statement to work with the version 3.1.0.6
client anyway. seems the NDS structure just wants to backup all the
containers and objects overtime. But with the Web GUI selecting any objects
is rather easy and both restore and backup works fine.
