David - To accomplish that, the simplest way is to perform an Incremental
        (dsmc i) or Selective (dsmc sel) backup, specifying what you want
to back up.  Include-Exclude specifications are really for when you are
specifying a file system backup but want to include or exclude just
certain things.  In your case, you should not need to get into that complexity.

Because of the space within the directory name, be sure to enclose the
path name in quotes.
