backup specific CIFS Folder

[Dunul]

Hi,
Is the right method to backup a specific folder starts with F is-
dsmc incr \\cifs\abc\F* -?

No, that won't work. You have to give the full folder name(s), or make excludes to exclude everything else like so:

Example in dsm.opt:

*** exclude all other filesystems ***
domain \\cifs\abc

*** exclude files under \\cifs\abc ***
exclude \\cifs\abc\*

*** exclude other directories under \\cifs\abc ***
exclude.dir \\cifs\abc\[1-9]*
exclude.dir \\cifs\abc\[a-eg-z]*

Then for your backup, you just need:

dsmc i \\cifs\abc
