Hi Dennis,

INCLUDE/EXCLUDE processing stops when there is a match found for the file
specification. So if you want the new management class to be used by the
existing INCLUDE.BACKUP file specification, you will need to append the
management class name to the end of that statements, too.

Best regards,

Andy

The only dumb question is the one that goes unasked.
The command line is your friend.
"Good enough" is the enemy of excellence.
