Which "manuals" are you looking at?
Chapter 7 of the ADSM 3.1 Unix Backup-Archive Clients manual, under
Creating an Include-Exclude Options File says:

    You can specify the include and exclude options in the client system
    options file. You can also create an include-exclude options file to
    exclude specific files from backup services, and to assign specific
    management classes to files.

Under the specific Include and Exclude options description:

    Place this option in the Include-Exclude options file or the client system
    options file (dsm.sys).
