Zoltan,

Using your example of \\server\folder\*.*  I make the assumption that you
want to backup the folder directory and its subdirectories. The correct
way to do that is:

include "\\server\c$\folder\...\*"

if the directory you are wanting to backup is on a different drive, change
the c$ for your drive letter.

Subject:        [ADSM-L] include/exclude pattern matching *.* vs *
Sent by:        "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <ADSM-L AT vm.marist DOT edu>



Is there a real difference in an INCLUDE statement using \*.* vs \* ?

We are troubleshooting a backup problem (nothing is being backed up) and
the OBJECTS option on the schedule says INCLUDE \\server\folder\*.*

Is there a really good definitive document that picks through all these
kinds of wildcard patters to show what would be includes/excluded?  All of
the examples I could root out show using 1-asterisk/*  but none showed 2
*.*
