Hello,

There was a restore done yesterday and a exclude statement
was put in the opt.file to exclude the directory. But the directory
was backed up inspite of the exclude statement that was put in.

This is the entry in the DSM.OPT file:
EXCLUDE *:\RESTORE\*

The DSMSCHED.LOG lists the files as follows:
POA:/restore/cohq/......

The opposite slants to the slashes shouldn't matter because the
examples in the DSM.OPT are all backward leaning slashes.

Maybe it doesn't accept a wildcard (*) for the volume name? Maybe the
trailing * doesn't exclude the subdirectories?

looking through the manuals I decided I am going put in the following
in the opt.file. Can anyone verify this syntax is correct.

exclude.dir *:RESTORE
