It isn't clear if you want to back up files on e: or g:. Assuming you mean to back up everything under e:\dir2, you could do this:
domain e: exclude *:\...\* include e:\dir2\...\* Note that this will also back up other directories (but not files) on e:. Perhaps an easier way would be to define a schedule that backs up only e:\dir2 and its files and subdirectories: define schedule mydomain mysched objects="e:\dir2\" options="-subdir=yes" ... (you need to include other info such as start time, duration, period, etc.) Then associate the node with that schedule.

"Blodgett, Olin" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent by: "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 10/30/2003 10:55 Please respond to "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc: Subject: DSM Options File Maybe this topic has been covered before but I have been pulling my hair out on how to acomplish my goal and I am new to the list but anyway here is the problem: I am looking to backup 1 directory and all sub directories every night, I can't seem to get the rules right in the option file to exclude everything but that one directory. Example: c:\file1.txt c:\dir1\file2.txt c:\dir2 e:\file3.txt e:\dir1\file4.txt e:\dir2\file5.txt e:\dir3\file6.txt I ONLY want to backup file5.txt and any subdirecties and files under e:\dir2 My currect option file has the following: DOMAIN g: Exclude.dir g:\* Exclude.file g:\* Include g:\dir2\*.* The domain line makes sure c: does not get backed up, but with these rules nothing gets backed up. If I use the following config: DOMAIN g: Exclude g:\* Include g:\dir2\*.* Everything on g: gets backed up, if I switch the lines around putting the exclude on the bottom, and I don't see any difference. Info: e: is a network drive but that should not matter because I specifiy the domain. Client Version 5.1.6.0 running on NT workstaion 4. Anyway thanx to anyone that can help me with this.
