We are trying to pinpoint a problem we are experiencing trying to backup the
Netware NDS.  Backing up specific containers works but backing up the full
NDS seems to be hanging the Netware server.  We have managed to do this
successfully in the past, but since then the Netware server has been rebuilt
and ADSM client software re-installed.

I am now trying to do a backup of the entire NDS, excluding one container,
but can't seem to get the Exclude statement in the DSM.OPT file to work.

The container is called .OU=BACKUP.CLEAR

I've coded the Exclude statement as         EXCLUDE  DIR/.OU=BACKUP.CLEAR

All the examples of Include / Exclude statements in the manuals are for
normal files (i.e.  volume:/directory/files   type of syntax), but nothing
specifically for NDS.

Can anyone tell me where I might be going wrong?
