Hallo Eric, Hmn, my understanding of incl/excl lists tells me that we work from the bottom up as a rule, but with 'exlude.dir' and some others taking precedence. Personally, I try and avoid those as it only causes confusion.
Looking at your dsm.opt include/exclude list below, I think that if I've understood you, you'll be wanting something like this: Exclude e:\* Exclude e:\...\* Include g:\inetpub\* Include g:\inetpub\...\* As a result, everything on the g: will be excluded, except g:\inetpub\ and its children. Is this what you were looking for?

I must be doing something wrong. My PC (WinNT, 5.1.6 client) has a network drive E:. I want everything but E:\Inetpub (and all underlying files and directories) on E: excluded from the backup. My dsm.opt contains the following lines: INCLUDE "E:\Inetpub\...\*" EXCLUDE.DIR "E:\...\*" Exclude "E:\*" However, the GUI shows all files and directories excluded and the backup backs up nothing. I'm lost...
