From my experience you cannot define an exclude.dir statement in the option
file sets on the server. The only way we were able to get it to work was
defining it in the dsm.opt file on the client.

No, you cannot not delete a directory, from my experience, although it would
be nice to be able to.

I have not dealt with the multiple language scenario. good luck!

        Subject:        Option sets (excluding directories) and problem with
Japanese characters

        Hi,

        First question : Can anybody tell me what I am doing wrong ?
                                     I want to use the 'Option set' feature
to exclude
        some directories from the backup.
                                     I did define e.g. 'Exclude C:\Winnt40'
but this
        doesn't seem to work ...

        Next question : is it possible to delete separate directories from a
filespace
        backup ?
                                      I think one can only delete complete
filespaces
        ...

        Next question : we have some Japanese people putting their DBCS
files on our
        'normal'
                                      file servers. When ADSM tries to
backup those
        files I get message
                                      "ANE4005E xxxx file not found" where
xxxx are some
        strange (Japanese) characters.

        Thanks,

        Paul
