Subject:  excluding dir names with dots in them




Hi All,

     I am having a problem excluding the directory /root.b and all of it's
files from incremental backups.  In the client include-exclude file, I
have tried:

/root.b
/.../root.b/.../
/root.b/*
/root\.b

and none of these have any effect.  I think the problem is the "." in the
directory name, and that it needs to be escaped.

Any ideas?  The client is Solaris 2.5.1 with client version:

Command Line Backup Client Interface - Version 2, Release 1, Level 0.7

Thanks,
