I have "exclude.dir e:\...\*" in a client config to prevent it from
backing up the e: drive. When I run BA client, select backup and local
filesystems and run estimate, it looks reasonable (the total cannot be
including e: drive). I am not now completely sure but I also think I did
run it by hand and it didn't backup e:. The backup started by the
existing association on the server seems to ignore at least this setting
in dsm.opt. What can be wrong?

Thanks

Michal
