Can't say for sure without more detail, including your client platform and level. But as a starter, here are some things that can cause your problem:
1) You changed the options file, but did not restart the scheduler service. 2) The scheduler service was installed pointing to a different options file (I'm assuming a Windows client) 3) Your include/exclude is pointing to a drive that your LOGON id has permissions to access, but the SYSTEM account running the scheduler does not. ANy of that ring a bell? -----Original Message----- From: Marc Lowers [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, December 04, 2001 11:01 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: ADSM incremental problem I have a couple of clients here, which I am running a scheduled incremental from the client scheduler service, but appears to ignore the options file and the include/exclude statements within it. However when I attempt an incremental from the client itself, the backup seems to work as intended. I'm totally baffled by this one, can anyone help? Marc.
