We have this big-honkin Netware server we are creating, to consolidate
multiple smaller servers.

Each department will have their own volume.  Therefore, we need to create
multiple opt files and nodes to keep each volumes backup separate from the
others.  We created separate Netware id's that have specific rights to
their volumes, only.

Try as I might, I can't seem to get an incremental backup from scanning
all the volumes and generating errors.

If I negate the volumes via the DOMAIN statement, this works.  But, as we
add volumes, we would have to go around and update dozens of opt
files.....not a good idea since we are already at 20-volumes.

I tried the approach of EXCLUDE *\*:*   and then an INCLUDE
server\volume:/.../   but it still scans everything.   Even tried
exclude.dir *

It also keeps erroring on trying to backup "System specific information"
eventhough I have DOMAIN -SYS: -NDS.  How do you exclude this attempt to
backup the "system specific information" on a Netware system ?

What am I doing wrong ?  Anyone else have this kind of configuration.
