Hi James,

I believe this is working as designed. The client manual (TSM 4.1 for UNIX
)
states under the exclude option for exclude.dir:
states under the exclude option for exclude.dir:
"When you exclude a directory, you can still back up specific files within
that directory, using  a selective backup. However, the next time you
perform an incremental backup, these backup versions are expired."

If you want to take it a little deeper,  has anyone else noticed
that selective backups do not honor the exclude.dir statement?
Whether this is a feature or a bug I don't know.
