Good morning Andrew,

list.

Dierk

EXCLUDE.DIR statements should not end with the directory delimiter.

Right: EXCLUDE.DIR C:\MyDir
Wrong: EXCLUDE.DIR C:\MyDir\

Also note that EXCLUDE.DIR is alway processed before INCLUDE or EXCLUDE,
so sandwiching EXCLUDE.DIR between other INCLUDE or EXCLUDE statements
implies a processing sequence that does not match actual processing, and
could confuse others. A more accurate positioning of these statements
would thus be:

 exclude /.../*
 include /data/.../*
 exclude /.../SSC*
 exclude /.../ssc*

 exclude.dir /data/xyz/abctest/fehler/
 exclude.dir /data/xyz/fpcp/fehler/
 exclude.dir /data/abc/abctest/fehler/
 exclude.dir /data/abc/abctest/tmp/
 exclude.dir /data/abc/bwup/fehler/
 exclude.dir /data/abc/bwup/fehler/
 exclude.dir /data/tmp/
 exclude.dir /data/abc/abctest/logs/
 exclude.dir /data/xyz/abctest/logs/

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