As Steven says, *always* do 'dsmc query inclexcl' to evaluate the fully compiled set of Include-Exclude specs, from all sources. And, when making client options changes, do 'dsmc query options' right afterward, to assure correctness, to prevent client schedules from failing. Those two commands should help point out that your INCLEXCL lines should contain only Include and Exclude specs, not other client options.

Hi All I am trying to create a dsm.opt file to only backup all Office files as Tech Support are rolling out new desktops and I want to make sure they dont miss any critical data. I have the following so far but it backups the entire C: INCLEXCL "RETRYPERIOD 0" INCLEXCL "CHANGINGRETRIES 0" INCLEXCL "INCLUDE 'NT' NT_TAPE_DAILY" INCLEXCL "DIRMC NT_DIRECTORIES" INCLEXCL "include '*:\...\*.xls'" INCLEXCL "include '*:\...\*.doc'" INCLEXCL "include '*:\...\*.ppt'" INCLEXCL "include '*:\...\*.pst'" INCLEXCL "exclude '*:\...\*.*'" Is there not a simpler method of just stating all .xls, .doc, .ppt etc Thanks
