Thanks Richard. I will give it a go straight away after investigating
the DIRMc option.

While I am here, Best wishes to all over the Festive Season.

Adrian -

This question comes up a lot.
Inspect your tape pool (as via Query CONtent) to see what is *really*
going there.  I suspects it's Windows directory information rather
than files, per TSM architectural policies.  Refer to the info in the
TSM manuals surrounding the DIRMc option regarding the handling of
directories.  There's also a bunch of descriptive info in ADSM
QuickFacts and the TSM Wiki.

Make use of 'dsmc q inclexcl' to more easily review the composite of
Include-Exclude options (from the client, OS, and TSM server).
