Mark,
I have not yet got the inclexcl to work properly on aix or hp.  I included
every iteration of exclude "this filespace" in my inclexcl and was still
backing up unwanted data.
My immediate work around (support's suggestion) is to put the desired
filespaces in the dsm.opt file.  This works fine BUT I am still backing up
the files I wanted to exclude (core, dsmerror.log, dsmsched.log, etc...)
Any other suggestions?  I went through my config with support and all seems
right.
Thanks

        You want to code these statements in

        /usr/lpp/adsm/bin/include.exclude. Then make sure you have coded

        inclexcl             /usr/lpp/adsm/bin/include.exclude
in dsm.sys.
