Hi Brice - I'm sure you're going to get a million and one responses that
the mail was received, so I'll be first!. Re your client option sets
First you define the client option set, then you add an option to it. In
your case, you would select INCLEXCL as the option to add, then in the text
entry field, put in
EXCLUDE c:\directory\subdirectory\...\*
or whatever. Then, supposing your option set is called NT_OPTIONS, update
the client or clients to point to this set (in the GUI for updating client
nodes, select NT_OPTIONS from the pulldown for client option set).
You have to re-start the client's backup-archive session for it to take
effect.
One thing to remember, any INCLEXCL directives in a client option set, get
logically put at the bottom of the client's dsm.opt file - so since these
rules are processed from bottom to top, they will over-ride anything the
client has specified for themselves. If you want more than one INCLEXCL
option, then use the sequence number parameter in defining them in the
client option set.
Eg if you've specified
Seq #
1     EXCLUDE ?:\...\*
2     INCLUDE c:\NOTES\...\*
3      EXCLUDE c:\NOTES\tmp\...\*

Then it will be as if these three statements (in their numerical order) are
added to the bottom of the client's (who have specified to use this set)
dsm.opt file. So they will be processed in the order 3, 2, 1, effectively
stopping them from backing up anything except the NOTES directory (with the
exception of the tmp subdirectory), regardless of whatever other
INCLUDE/EXCLUDE statements are in the dsm.opt file.
Hope this is clear.

Regards,
Charlotte
