It is possible to exclude files with spaces. Just put the whole path in
quotes. This also goes for any services you want to install. Check the
dsmcutil help file for examples.
But I think its probably better to use 8.3 naming instead because I've seen
alot of problems with windows long file names.

Hi:
This got me when I was reinstalling the service for the scheduled backups
and had to point to a directory path that included 'program files'. You need
to use the MS-DOS name that does not include spaces. Click down to the
directory with spaces, select the directory, right click and select
properties, see / use the MS-DOS name.

Hello All - I was wondering in the NT environment, how you write up an
exclude list for folders that contain a space.
We could easily rename these folders, however, it would involve also
changing names within various programs. Some, of course, are for Windows,
therefore, those names cannot be changed.
Therefore, how do I write up a folder name that contains spaces in the
exclusion list - <ex: Program files>?
Thanks
Terry
