I looked at this and got a little confused.  It shows as an example:

hosta /diskA/all /diskA {
        # all directories except the one that start with [a-u]
        high-tar
        exclude "./[a-u]*"
        } 1
hosta /diskA/ag /diskA {
        # all directories that start with [a-g] except big1 and big2
        high-tar
        include "./[a-g]*"
        exclude "./big1" "./big2"
        } 1
hosta /diskA/big /diskA {
        # directories big1 and big2
        high-tar
        include "./big1" "./big2"
        } 1

Do the directories '/diskA/all', '/diskA/ag', and '/diskA/big' 
actually exist, or are they simply labels being used to keep things
organized?

I have the following directory structure:

  /u1/backup/act-of-god
  /u1/backup/archive
  /u1/backup/bad-for-business
  /u1/backup/build
  /u1/backup/cvs-repos
  /u1/backup/rt
  /u1/backup/sw

I'd like each of these subdirs of /u1/backup to be separate backup 
volumes.  To accomplish that, do I do something like this:

  jpt /u1/backup/all /u1/backup {
    # Exclude everything that's explicitly named
    # if we add a directory later, but forget to add it here
    # it will be picked up automagically
    non-user-high-tar
    exclude "./act-of-god"
    exclude append "./archive"
    exclude append "./bad-for-business"
    exclude append "./cvs-repos"
    exclude append "./rta"
    exclude append "./software"
    exclude append "./build"
  } 1
  jpt /u1/backup/act-of-god /u1/backup {
    # only the act-of-god subdir
    non-user-high-tar
    include "./act-of-god"
    exclude "./*"
  } 1
  jpt /u1/backup/archive /u1/backup {
    # only the archive subdir
    non-user-high-tar
    include "./archive"
    exclude "./*"
  } 1
etc.?

Thanks
