almost a catch-22

     you may use the "domain" statement to indicate which file systems you
     WANT to cover... thus ones not listed are not covered BUT you have to
     make sure that when you add another file system to the box and you
     want it covered, you MUST add it to your domain list!

     other wise just use an
        EXCLUDE /somefilesystem/.../*

     Domains are on a "filesystem" or "virtualmountpoint" boundary
     INCLUDE or EXCLUDE statements are on a "file name" boundary

     and even if you have an exclude for a file... that only covers
     incremental or selective processing, you may still archive the file.

What is the correct syntax to exclude a whole file system from being backup
or archeived on AIX ?

Thanks..
