Include-exclude problems. Including only one directory

[coops]

I made the exclude statement update, but the back-ups of system files are still occurring.
1) why -- the exclude should prevent it?
2) even if not excluded - why -- shouldn't the incremental back-up recognize that these files have been backed up?

Are you using the scheduler or dsmcad? If scheduler, you need to restart it after modifying the dsm.opt file. Or are you using a client optionset?

Post the output from dsmc q inclexcl.

Here is the output of the "q inclexcl". Sorry for the newbie question, but how do I restart the scheduler?

Its a windows service, go to control panel / services. If you're using it, it will be in running state. If you're using dsmcad instead, you will have a cad in running state and scheduler stopped..

Thanks. Looks like it is working now. The syntax of the exclude statement must have been the root problem (although it had given no errors before).
For others, the service on XP is under Control panel --> Administrative Tools --> (the name that you created in the tsm setup)
