Hallo TSM'ers,

Client AIX 5.2.3.0,
Server AIX  5.2.2.3

Seems to be a day for 'strange' things.

I was just testing the following exclude statement


Exclude /some/path/*/etc/*

As against

Exclude /some/path/.../etc/*

When only a single level deep of directoriy structure is to be matched
(using '*') , rather than multiple levels as with the '...' notation.

It is the only line in my inclexcl list

Doing

Dsmc I /some/path/exc/etc/*

The file is backed up

But doing

Dsmc sel /some/path/exc/etc/*

I get ANS1115W, file is excluded by the include exclude list.

..I would have expected to receive ANS1115W for both backups...?



Matt.
