Chris already got the syntax error. I'll just note you do not need both the include and the exclude lines. The "include" says these are the only things to backup. If "comp-coyote-tar" has any common excludes (like temp files or ???) the exclude above would replace them. If you want to retain the excludes, you may want to make them "exclude append" to add to any default exclude. What if you create a "Gene" or a "123go" or a ".save" file or directory under PublicA? Your 3 DLEs would not back them up. I usually add a "catchall" DLE. In your case it might be: > 28 coyote PublicMisc /home/gene/PublicA/ { > 29 comp-coyote-tar > 31 exclude "./[a-z]*" > 32 } 1 local Jon -- Jon H. LaBadie j...@jgcomp.com 11226 South Shore Rd.
