Looks okay but there is a way to determine if it's working or not, and i
always verify to make sure its gonna backup the way i expect it to:

Put those lines in your dsm.opt file, then run the client, select backup,
checkmark local C: drive to backup, then expand the C: contents. every
file that will not back up is marked with a red x next to the filename.
files that will be backed up do not have the red x.
