Re: How to backup only one or directories on a filespace.

What you need to do is specify the desired directory in the command line 
specification, not through DOMAIN (which are, generally speaking, file 
system-oriented) or INCLUDE/EXCLUDE:

   dsmc i c:\mydir\ -subdir=yes

or when defining a schedule on the server, specfiy:

   objects="c:\mydir\*" options="-subdir=yes"

The only dumb question is the one that goes unasked.
The command line is your friend.
"Good enough" is the enemy of excellence.
