Keeping it simple, just remember that any time your include/exclude statement has white spaces (the space character) as in 'Microsoft SQL Server' you must use quotation marks around the entire object specification. Looking in the Tivoli Storage Manager for Windows Using the Backup-Archive Client manual, I see no reference to this situation. Regardless, I have found using the double quote character works well. So, I vote for your second example on Windows2000:
Include "G:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL\Backup\spv1\...\*" MGMTCLASS It is on older OS's like Win95/98 that you would need to use notation like Progra~1 for Program Files. Win2000 handles long file names well. John G. Talafous IS Technical Principal The Timken Company Global Software Support P.O. Box 6927 Data Management 1835 Dueber Ave. S.W.
