First, that looks valid... should be working!

     OK, watch text case... is "Data" the proper case ?
     Are all the files you are concerned with in
        d:\Data\
     and are they of the nature *.*  and not a combination of *.* & *
     do any reside in sub directories ?
     My CYA answer to this would be to code
     Include d:\Data\* DATABASE_FILES
     Include d:\Data\*.* DATABASE_FILES
     Include d:\Data\...\* DATABASE_FILES
     Include d:\Data\...\*.* DATABASE_FILES

     the \...\ designates 0 or more subdirectory levels but I believe there
     was a glitch wayyyy back that had it being a 1 or more, that's why I
     go ahead and code such as listed above.

     BIG NOTE !!!

     include/excludes are processed from the BOTTOM up !

     if any include or exclude below your indicated one that matches your
     file names also (such as include d:\...\*) then that will bind your
     files and they will never hit a d:\Data\*.* found above

     OK
        include d:\...\*  mgmt1
        include d:\Data\* mgmt2
     OK

     BAD
        include d:\Data\* mgmt2
        include d:\...\*  mgmt1
     BAD

I am using ADSM Server Version 2x on MVS and ADSM Client Version 3.1.0.6 on
Windows NT 4.0 SP3.  I want to include some special files in a management
class that has a very long retention, but it is not my default management
class.  Example:  I have a Policy Domain: DOMAIN0305 Policy Set:
NETWORK_SERVICES Management Classes: GENERAL_FILES and DATABASE_FILES.
General_files is set to default and the policy set Network_Services is set
to active.  How can I use my client option file to put some special files in
the management class DATABASE_FILES that would be held for a long time.  In
my options file I am specifying DOMain c: d:.  Then in my Include/Exclude
list I have the following:
Include d:\Data\*.* DATABASE_FILES.  Then when I look to see what management
class the file was backed up to it still shows GENERAL_FILES.  Can anyone
help me.  BTW I am new to this, so take that into consideration.  Thank you.
