Re: [ADSM-L] Client domain statement exclude not working as expected

Richard, Thanks so much!

The volumes on a manual dsmc i does NOT (or rather, did not) agree with
the scheduled backup.
I thought I had actually attached a snippet of the dsmsched.log showing
the volume backup initiating, but it seems I did not.
I had not run the "query inclexcl" earlier.  After running the options
query I thought it was amoot point, but I should have been more
thorough.  Now it shows exclusion of the Y: drive:
Exclude All       Y:\                            dsm.opt

01/19/2011 20:27:53 --- SCHEDULEREC OBJECT BEGIN 8PM-DAILY-INCR
01/19/2011 20:00:00
01/19/2011 20:27:54 Incremental backup of volume '\\NodeName\c$'
01/19/2011 20:27:54 Incremental backup of volume '\\NodeName\d$'
01/19/2011 20:27:54 Incremental backup of volume '\\NodeName\y$'
01/19/2011 20:27:54 Incremental backup of volume '\\NodeName\z$'

The "Y:" is the one I don't want.

When looking into exclusion problems, use 'dsmc q inclexcl'.
Don't rely upon visual inspection of files, as the information there is
often only part of the story.
Also check your backup log file to see what "volumes" it reports as
participating when it starts, and compare that against the query output
to correlate ingredients.  Outside the backup window, initiate a manual
'dsmc i' (which you can cancel) and see if its "volumes" list agrees
with what's in the scheduled backup.
