Michael,
You are correct about the shortcomings of specifying what to backup and what to
exclude. The syntax for your exclude statements below is correct; can you send
short extracts from the TDP logs for the errors you are getting?

Subject: Re: [ADSM-L] TDP MSSQL excludes
Thanks Bertaut,
Both approached are valid and possible, but both have shortcomings.
In first case, if I choose to handpick the databases for backup, I then need to
be in constatnt check regarding introduction of new production databases. This
is like using 'DOMAIN C: D:' statement instead of DOMAIN ALL-LOCAL in BA client.
In the second case, the exclude will be valid only limited period of time till
the SQL admin removes old Test_XXX DB and creates another one named Test_YYY.
I'm looking to wildcard exclude of all Test_* databases.
As I've mentioned,
exclude "\...\Test*\...\"
doesn't seem to work.
