Re: DSM Options File

It isn't clear if you want to back up files on e: or g:.

Assuming you mean to back up everything under e:\dir2, you could do this:

   domain e:
   exclude *:\...\*
   include e:\dir2\...\*

Note that this will also back up other directories (but not files) on e:.

Perhaps an easier way would be to define a schedule that backs up only
e:\dir2 and its files and subdirectories:

   define schedule mydomain mysched objects="e:\dir2\"
options="-subdir=yes" ...

(you need to include other info such as start time, duration, period,
etc.)

Then associate the node with that schedule.

Maybe this topic has been covered before but I have been pulling my hair
out
on how to acomplish my goal and I am new to the list but anyway here is
the
problem:

I am looking to backup 1 directory and all sub directories every night, I
can't seem to get the rules right in the option file to exclude everything
but that one directory.

Example:

c:\file1.txt
c:\dir1\file2.txt
c:\dir2
e:\file3.txt
e:\dir1\file4.txt
e:\dir2\file5.txt
e:\dir3\file6.txt

I ONLY want to backup file5.txt and any subdirecties and files under
e:\dir2

My currect option file has the following:

DOMAIN        g:

Exclude.dir   g:\*
Exclude.file  g:\*
Include       g:\dir2\*.*

The domain line makes sure c: does not get backed up, but with these rules
nothing gets backed up. If I use the following config:

DOMAIN        g:
Exclude       g:\*
Include       g:\dir2\*.*

Everything on g: gets backed up, if I switch the lines around putting the
exclude on the bottom, and I don't see any difference.

Info:

e: is a network drive but that should not matter because I specifiy the
domain.
Client Version 5.1.6.0 running on NT workstaion 4.


Anyway thanx to anyone that can help me with this.
