Hi,
Make sure your Exclude is first and not last.

INCLEXCL "RETRYPERIOD 0"
INCLEXCL "CHANGINGRETRIES 0"
INCLEXCL "INCLUDE 'NT' NT_TAPE_DAILY"
INCLEXCL "DIRMC NT_DIRECTORIES"
INCLEXCL "exclude '*:\...\*.*'"
INCLEXCL "include '*:\...\*.xls'"
INCLEXCL "include '*:\...\*.doc'"
INCLEXCL "include '*:\...\*.ppt'"
INCLEXCL "include '*:\...\*.pst'"

As everyone else also recommend. run q inclexcl in DSMC on the client to see 
more information.

Best Regards
Christian Svensson

Hi All

I am trying to create a dsm.opt file to only backup all Office files as
Tech Support are rolling out new desktops and I want to make sure they
dont miss any critical data.

I have the following so far but it backups the entire C:

INCLEXCL "RETRYPERIOD 0"
INCLEXCL "CHANGINGRETRIES 0"
INCLEXCL "INCLUDE 'NT' NT_TAPE_DAILY"
INCLEXCL "DIRMC NT_DIRECTORIES"
INCLEXCL "include '*:\...\*.xls'"
INCLEXCL "include '*:\...\*.doc'"
INCLEXCL "include '*:\...\*.ppt'"
INCLEXCL "include '*:\...\*.pst'"
INCLEXCL "exclude '*:\...\*.*'"

Is there not a simpler method of just stating all .xls, .doc, .ppt etc

Thanks
