Chris,

Failure to connect to the Exchange server has nothing to
do with your INCLUDE/EXCLUDE entries. They are used to
determine what gets backed up after connection to the
Exchange server is made.

Are you using the "/EXCSERVer=servername" option?

where "servername" is the "virtual" Exchange cluster server name
For example, if the Exchange cluster server name is "corwwdsapp04",
you should launch a backup of the "First Storage Group" with:

   TDPEXCC BACKUP "First Storage Group" FULL /EXCSERVER=corwwdsapp04

and launch the GUI with:

   TDPEXCC /EXCSERVER=corwwdsapp04

Thanks,

Del
