Roger, we use the following - cribbed, I think, from the client manual.
Exclude.dir \\*\*\...\* This works (if memory serves correctly) due to the client addressing non-local drives using the UNC convention while addressing local drives using drive letters. Try it and see. You will see the network shares listed at the server when you do 'q files <NODE>' , but a 'query occ <NODE>' should report no occupancy under these drives. Unfortunately, I've never worked out how to exclude removeable drives :( HTH Ian Smith Oxford University UK/England/GB/* On Saturday 13 Dec 2008 1:50 am, Roger Deschner wrote: > We have some users who are (ab)using TSM to back up network drives that > they have mapped.
