Just be careful when you mix snapdiff and include/exclude.

Just to state the obvious
The include/exclude only operates on the changed files so it is
suggested should you change the the include/exclude you need to run a
backup using createnewbase=yes.

for the following example

file ABC.txt is excluded on first backup and the file does not change.
You then change the include/exclude so it would be included. In this
situation the file would never be backed up. To solve it you would need
to run a backup with  createnewbase=yes or without the snapdiff option.

We run snapdiff backups using 6.2.4 client, 6.2.3.1 server, Ontap 7.3.3, and 
exclude and exclude.dir work as expected.  - Margaret

Do:
include
exclude
exclude.dir

Work when you are doing an incremental with -snapdiff  ?
