Hi Zoltan,

A couple of things:

1. If your TSM clients use multiple nodes or options files, make sure that
the "q inclexcl" you do is for the same node and options file that are used
during the backup; and that the scheduled backup is using the intended node
name and options file.

2. Check the order in which the include/exclude statements appear. Once a
given file matches an include or exclude statement, then the file is
included or excluded as appropriate. Subsequent include or exclude
statements are not considered. The excerpts you posted don't show the
non-temp include and exclude statements, so we can't tell if there might be
some other statement overriding your excludes. For example, if you this in
dsm.opt:

...
EXCLUDE *:\...\Temp\...\*
INCLUDE *:\Documents and Settings\...\*
...

Then with bottom-up processing, a temp file in the "Documents and Settings"
directory will match the INCLUDE statement, at which time the file will be
backed up.
