The only reason I'm using Selective is because I could not get exclude to
work using Incremental.
If it now works, I'm fine and will go with Incremental again, but as it is,
I am still not clear on two things :
1. Is there a space between EXCLUDE and .FILE or not ?????
2. How does one define the volumes to be backed up under Objects ?
There has to be someone who knows this information for sure and not just
what should be ?
