I still see one problem in your process .......

The Include/Exclude list is a Push down stack.   Thus it is read from t=
he top
down, and then executed from the bottom up.  If a match occurs, process=
ing of
the entries in the stack stops.  Therefore, you will never get to the C=
EDCADM
management class statement (the first one in the list) since the one di=
rectly
below it will always match everything.

Sorry to take up your time everybody.  I forgot to put the -subdir=3Dye=
s option
in the schedule.  Everything is working fine.

Subject: Schedules/Objects/Options

We are putting together  schedules and an options file that will do a d=
aily
incremental and a monthly archive.  (No, I CAN'T convince them they don=
't
need monthly "full" backups.)  The options file looks like this:

COMMmethod                TCPIP
TCPServeraddress       VM
TCPPORT                         1503
NODENAME                   servName

DOMAIN C: D:

The archive schedule the client is using has the Objects parameter set =
as
Objects=3DC:\* D:\*
CEDCADM above is the management class for the monthly archive and CEDCA=
D is
the management class for the daily incremental backups.

The problem is. . . . . ONLY the files in the root directories of C: an=
d D:
are being archived up and in spite of the Exclude *:\...\pagefile.sys, =
an
error message is being created when ADSM attempts to archive it.  Also,=

(don't know if it's important or not but) there is no backup copygroup =
in the
CEDCADM managements class.

I know I'm just missing something small here, but I can't see it.  Any =
help
would be appreciated as always.  Thanks.

Why is ADSM attempting to archive pagefile.sys and why aren't ALL the f=
iles
being archived instead of just those in the root directory.  Also
