OK, remember that include/exclude statements are processed from the
     bottom up and the processing exits and a course of action is decided
     upon finding a/the first match

     ALSO even if excluded, the directory structure will be backed up...
     just 'cause you might not want the data files in the event of a need
     to restore doesn't mean you don't want a place to put them ;-)

Hi,

I am using ADSM v.3 on a Solaris 2.6 machine.. I want to  exclude
everything on the disk (exclude /*) and include (include /usr/local/,
include /var/spool/udsinstall....)  Howevery, I see all the
files/directories under root  was backuped...  Is my include/exclude setup
correctly ?
Thanks,
