Re: No Include/Exclude command line option with v3 client???

Hello Rene,

can you give me a reason why I shouldn't (i.e. my customer shouldn't) code
an -INCLUDE option in the INCREMENTAL command? I mean that's just the way
it should work and so it is described in IBM's own student material for
ADSM...

A quote from that IBM student book (Page "Incremental Backup: Command Line
Interface"):

================ cut =====================

dsmc incremental -include=d:\new\*.*
Backup only files from the specified path.

================ cut =====================

BTW: My customer has still some v2 clients and that systems use the
-INCLUDE option without any problems.

Hello,
you should not code an include statement in the INCREMENTAL command, only
the name of the files you want to backup.
