include/exclude is processed bottom up; BUT
exclude.dir is different.
It overrides EVERYTHING and TSM never goes into that directory at all.
Change to EXCLUDE instead of EXCLUDE.DIR and you will get different results.

Also, your notation for PROBE should end with:  *
                                                       not:  *.*

If you use *.*, it will only match files that have a period in them.
And some may not.

Subject: Include Problem


I am not having any luck trying to setup an Include/Exclude list on a Win2K
client running TSM 4.2.1.32. I thought that the list was read from bottom up
and once a match was found the rest of the list was ignored, but the
following does not work in this order. I have also tried to switch these
around with the same results, like the include statement is completely
ignored.

Exclude.Dir "C:\ADMIN\NTRESKIT\*"
INCLUDE "C:\ADMIN\NTRESKIT\PERFTOOL\PROBE\*.*"

The results are all folders under ntreskit are excluded.

My requirement is to backup only the probe folder and all files and folders
under it only.

Any help is appreciated.
