And to confirm it will work, put your test patterns in a file, say "exclude-pats". Then cd to the directory of your DLE. Run something like: tar -cvf /dev/null --exclude-from <exclude-pats> 2>&1 | egrep 'ora|dbf|dmp' There should be nothing in the output that matches your list. Might be something like oracle.txt, but that shouldn't be excluded. -- Jon H.
