exclude.backup  /directory/.../*
This would exclude files from backup but not prevent archives.
Unfortunately it does not exclude the directories.

Subject:        Unix directory exclude question

We are running a scheduled "incremental" on an AIX 4.3.3 client.  There is
a
need to exclude a specific directory tree, which needs to be "archived"
via
another, shell script based, scheduled "command".

The initial idea was to add an "exclude.dir" in the client dsm.sys file.
This caused the incremental to exclude that directory tree but, when
performing the command line (dsmc) archive the log indicates that this
tree
is excluded.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Dave
