EXCLUDE "*:\...\pagefiles.sys" EXCLUDE "*:\...\pagefile.sys" EXCLUDE "*:\...\ibmbio.com" EXCLUDE "*:\...\profiles\...\ntuser.dat" EXCLUDE "*:\...\profiles\...\ntuser.dat.log"
* Unless these appear in any of the EXCLUDEd directories * above, these three INCLUDEs can be removed. INCLUDE "*:\...\DSM.OPT" INCLUDE "*:\...\SLIP.INI" INCLUDE "*:\...\TCPIP.CFG" I also have the following EXCLUDEs in my own dsm.opt file: EXCLUDE "*:\...\Temporary Internet Files\...\*" EXCLUDE *:\...\temp\...\* Regards, Andy Andy Raibeck IBM Software Group Tivoli Storage Manager Client Development Internal Notes e-mail: Andrew Raibeck/Tucson/IBM@IBMUS Internet e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] The only dumb question is the one that goes unasked.
