Subject: NT exclude problem


I have an NT server running SAP/Oracle. I am backing up the Oracle DB with
TDP for R3, and thus want to exclude these files from TSM incremental. I
cannot get it to work.

NT server v 4.0 with SP6
TSM client v 4.2.1.30
TSM server v4.2.2.7
running on AIX v 4.3.3

The book gives an example: Quote
Exclude all files and directories in any tmp directory that might exist
exclude ?:\...\tmp\...\*
Unquote

So I tried
exclude ?:\...\saparch\...\*

I have also tried
exclude *:\...\saparch\...\*
exclude *:\...\saparch\...\*.*
and in desperation
exclude f:\oracle\XXX\saparch\*
but each time, after the incremental, I have 15 active files registered in
the TSM DB from this directory.

Is it me, or is it a bug?
