I believe exclude.dir is processed first regardless of where it is stacked
in the list.
You will have to work your exclude.dir statements so there isn't one that
will hit true on the "u38" directory;
exclude.dir /u[0-2,4-9][0-9]
exclude.dir /u3[0-7,9]

Hope this helps.

Hi All,

I was hoping I could get some feedback on the syntax of a set of files that
I am trying to include during backup.  Currently, my exclude.list file
looks
like so:

exclude.dir /u[0-9][0-9]
include.file /u38/exp/.../*.*

I'm trying to get TSM to backup all the files and subdirs under /u38/exp,
but still exclude all the the other u* directories and files.  I must be
doing something wrong, as TSM is still excluding /u38/exp.  I've tried a
few
different combinations, but with no luck.

Does anyone have any suggestions?  Thanks.
