Exclude.Dir or Include.Dir statements are read first, regardless of their
position in the list.  So effectively, you are excluding this whole
directory.  You might try the following...

EXCLUDE "c:\admin\ntreskit\...\*"
INCLUDE "c:\admin\ntreskit\perftool\probe\...\*"

By using probe\*.* you will only get files under the PROBE directory with
extensions, and no directories under it, the \...\* syntax tells TSM to
backup everything under that directory.

Hope this helps.

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.
