The only other thing I can think of is using the objects: parameter in a
schedule.  That would be set on the server side.  But that will only limit
what is backed up during a scheduled event.  Probably not exactly what you
were looking for.

Re: your message:

Yes, but the intention is to essentially "lock-down" what the
end-user can & cannot back up.  The user community here is savvy
enough to edit the dsm.opt file, and we're trying to override
any changes made there.  That was the reason for trying the
client option set (with a force option set).

If I'm going about this the wrong way, I'd appreciate it if you
could set me straight :-).
