Here is what that command gives me.

Hmmm..., I pulled exclude.fs out of the documentation, but it was 4.2 doco,
so I would have thought it would work. Do you have anything in you
dsmerror.log about the excludes? What does "dsmc q inclexcl" tell you?

"exclude /.../u01/.../*" will certainly avoid backing up the files under
/u01, but it will still examine each file in the file system to see if it
should be backed up. The trees I want to avoid generally are structured

/db
  /db/database1
     /db/database1/d01
     /db/database1/d02
     /db/database1/d03
  /db/database2
     /db/database2/d01
     /db/database2/d02
     /db/database2/d03

where each d0? is a separate file system, and new branches can be added
without warning. That being the case I generally "exclude.dir /db". That way
I get notices for each file system that it is excluded but the client
doesn't spend lots of time traversing the trees. And I don't get burned if
someone adds another filesystem to the tree and forgets to tell me.

Luck!

The reason most people fail instead of succeed is that they trade what they
want most for what they want at the moment. Don't make failure a priority!
