William, what you can do is, add an ( inclexcl ) line/parameter in your dsm.sys
file with a include/exclude file (witth his path), and create that file with
your includes & excludes.
I am sending a sample below.

Good Luck.

Subject:  exclude does not work in AIX?




Dear ADSMers,
I installed ADSM 3.1.20 in my AIX 43P which is running AIX 4.2.1. When I
add the following two lines into /usr/lpp/adsm/bin/dsm.sys, The exclude
does not work at all. What I want to do is exclude all of the machine,
and then I can use include to perform a incremental backup. Would you
please kindly tell me, how can I use exclude?

exclude /*
exclude /.../*

Thanks in advance!
William Wang
