I still see one problem in your process .......

The Include/Exclude list is a Push down stack.   Thus it is read from the top
down, and then executed from the bottom up.  If a match occurs, processing of
the entries in the stack stops.  Therefore, you will never get to the CEDCADM
management class statement (the first one in the list) since the one directly
below it will always match everything.

Sorry to take up your time everybody.  I forgot to put the -subdir=yes option
in the schedule.  Everything is working fine.

Subject: Schedules/Objects/Options

We are putting together  schedules and an options file that will do a daily
incremental and a monthly archive.  (No, I CAN'T convince them they don't
need monthly "full" backups.)  The options file looks like this:

COMMmethod                TCPIP
TCPServeraddress       VM
TCPPORT                         1503
NODENAME                   servName

TAPEPROMPT NO
COMPRESSION ON
MAXCMDRETRIES 2
SCHEDLOGRETENTION 5
ERRORLOGRETENTION 5
RETRYPERIOD 5
DOMAIN C: D:

The archive schedule the client is using has the Objects parameter set as
Objects=C:\* D:\*
CEDCADM above is the management class for the monthly archive and CEDCAD is
the management class for the daily incremental backups.

The problem is. . . . . ONLY the files in the root directories of C: and D:
are being archived up and in spite of the Exclude *:\...\pagefile.sys, an
error message is being created when ADSM attempts to archive it.  Also,
(don't know if it's important or not but) there is no backup copygroup in the
CEDCADM managements class.

I know I'm just missing something small here, but I can't see it.  Any help
would be appreciated as always.  Thanks.

Why is ADSM attempting to archive pagefile.sys and why aren't ALL the files
being archived instead of just those in the root directory.  Also
