Having recently been given the task of re-activating previously installed
ADSM HP-UX clients (both client and server are version 2). One of them is
interpreting the inclexcl file in a particularly obtuse manner.

the dsm.sys file has the line

INCLEXCL        inclexcl

and in the $DSM_DIR directory, the file inclexcl has the following

include /.../*

exclude /data/jsping/ingdb/.../*

exclude /data/jsping/inglog/.../*

exclude /nfs/.../*

exclude /sysxfer/.../*

exclude /tmp/.../*

exclude /usr/tmp/.../*

exclude /data/tmp/.../*


This appears to be a generic file, common to other, working servers.
However this particular server only backs up the root (/) file system, and
nothing else. Others with this file back up every file system, from /
onwards, regardless of mount points, with the exception of the specifically
excluded file systems.

So I think I've inherited a duff setup. Has anybody had a similar problem
which they can share with me?
