Hello

Skip the last \ at the exclude.dir statements. 
Like EXCLUDE.DIR "*:\Exchsrvr"
Not EXCLUDE.DIR "*:\Exchsrvr\"

I always put the domain statement under the include/excludes, but I dont't know 
if it does any difference..

Remember that TSM reads the optfile from the botton to the top, so if you have 
include-statement further down in the file they will be included even if you 
exclude them higher up in the optfile

Niklas

Hello together,
i read the redbook and manpages several times, but i can't get i right. I want 
to exclude some directories und or some files, since this is a basic task it 
should be fairly simple, but i messed it up. Here is the list that i thought 
should work ... .
----------------------------------------------------------------------
DOMAIN  ALL-LOCAL


EXCLUDE "*:D\Exchsrvr\mdbdata\*.log"
EXCLUDE "*:\Exchsrvr\mdbdata\tmp.edb"
EXCLUDE "*:\Exchsrvr\Speichergruppe GFS\MDBDATA\priv2.stm" EXCLUDE 
"*:\Exchsrvr\Speichergruppe GFS\MDBDATA\pub2.edb" EXCLUDE 
"*:\Exchsrvr\Speichergruppe GFS\MDBDATA\pub2.stm" EXCLUDE "*:\...\dsmsched.log" 
EXCLUDE "*:\...\Perflib_Perfdata_630.dat"
EXCLUDE.DIR "*:\WINNT\system32\LServer\" 
EXCLUDE.DIR "*:\Exchsrvr\" 
EXCLUDE.DIR "*:\...\Temporary Internet Files" 
Exclude.Dir "D:\Exchsrvr\mdbdata"
Exclude.Dir "D:\Exchsrvr\Speichergruppe GFS"
Exclude.Dir "D:\Exchsrvr\Speichergruppe GFS\MDBDATA"
EXCLUDE "*:\...\pagefile.sys" 
EXCLUDE "*:\WINNT\system32\CPL.CFG" 
EXCLUDE.DIR "*:\WINNT\Profiles"
EXCLUDE "*:\MSDOS.SYS" 
EXCLUDE "*:\IO.SYS" 
EXCLUDE "*:\WINNT\system32\LServer\tmp.edb"
EXCLUDE "*:\WINNT\system32\LServer\TLSLic.edb"
EXCLUDE "*:\WINNT\system32\LServer\edb.log"
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This ths is a task every WIN TSM Admin needs to do, what did i miss? Why does 
the Storage Manager still want do backup all und is complaining about the 
errors.
