Include "D:\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL\BACKUP\*.*" BACKUPSQL will backup only the files with a period/dot in the name. Try a single asterisk:

Is there a select statement or some such that will allow me to see which mgmtclass certain directories/files are using? I have the following include statement in my dsm.opt file (Win2000 client): Include "D:\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL\BACKUP\*.*" BACKUPSQL This means that all files in the specified dir. should use the BACKUPSQL mgmtclass. the backup copy group specifies 30 versions for 30 days, but I only get the default mgmtclass' 5 versions. The policyset is active. these files are not locked ever and I can backup them up with the normal client. But I only get 5 versions instead of 30. Help would be appreciated! Thanks Etienne Brodeur
