Hello Betsy,

        As I understand it, the managment class to use for a particular backup 
is specified along with the entries in the include exclude list, and if no 
managment class is specified there the default managment class is used.

If you had a managment class called foo then you would tell adsm to use it for 
particular files like this,

(include exclude list)

include /osmf/mgmt/cheese/.../.../* foo

So you can see which managment class was used by looking in the include exclude 
list.

if none were used then a
q mgmt
would show you all defined managment classes, and the default would be the 
class that had been used.
