Well, first...the include/excludes are processed from bottom to the top, stopping at the first hit...not the most qualified hit. So in your DSMMAIL.OPT, the EXCLUDE statement is hitting first, and the includes never get processed.
If that's all you want to do is assigned different retentions to a directory, instead of 2 nodenames and 2 domains, just create a management class for your 7-day retention and assign that to the admbrim directory/files. Let the defaul management class of 30-days for the rest of the server. Just add to your DSM.OPT INCLUDE brim_server2\data:admbrim/.../* 7DAYMGMTCLASS and just run a single backup with a single nodename in a single domain. Reduces complexity.

The rest of the directories (across two volumes) need to have 30 days' retention. I set up two nodes: BRIMSERVER2MAIL: For the admbrim directory BRIMSERVER2: for everything else. I have two BA directories with separate DSM.opt files. (DSMMAIL.OPT and DSM.OPT) respectively. Here are the pertinent differences in the .OPT Files: DSMMAIL.OPT -------------- * Setting Nodename * ------------------------------------------------------- NODENAME brimserver2mail * Includes/Excludes * --------------------------------------------------------- INCLUDE brim_server2\data:admbrim/* INCLUDE brim_Server2\data:admbrim EXCLUDE brim_server2\data:* DSM.OPT * Setting Nodename * ------------------------------------------------------- NODENAME brimserver2 * Includes/Excludes * --------------------------------------------------------- EXCLUDE brim_server2\*:/.../vol$log.err EXCLUDE brim_server2*:/.../tts$log.err EXCLUDE brim_server2*:/.../sys$log.err EXCLUDE brim_server2*:/.../events.log EXCLUDE brim_server2*:/.../secaudit.log EXCLUDE brim_server2*:/.../system.log EXCLUDE brim_server2\sys:system/cmaster.dba EXCLUDE brim_server2\sys:system/btrieve.trn EXCLUDE brim_server2\sys:system/tsa/tsa$temp.* EXCLUDE brim_server2\sys:_SWAP_.MEM EXCLUDE.dir brim_server2\sys:\queues EXCLUDE.DIR brim_server2\data:admbrim Both nodes are using the same schedule, but with a different policy domain. I used the -optfile parameter to point each schedule to its correct .OPT file. This a.m., only one scheduler, for the BRIMSERVER2 node, was running. However, info in the schedlog for that node appeared to include both nodes. For example: Time remaining until execution: Querying server for next scheduled event. 07/28/2004 19:18:58 Node Name: BRIMSERVER2 07/28/2004 19:18:58 Session established with server SERVER1: MVS 07/28/2004 19:18:58 Server Version 5, Release 1, Level 7.0 07/28/2004 19:18:58 Data compression forced off by the server 07/28/2004 19:18:58 Server date/time: 07/28/2004 19:19:16 Last access: 07/28/2004 15:19:16 07/28/2004 19:18:58 --- SCHEDULEREC QUERY BEGIN 07/28/2004 19:18:58 --- SCHEDULEREC QUERY END 07/28/2004 19:18:58 Next operation scheduled: 07/28/2004 19:18:58 ------------------------------------------------------------ 07/28/2004 19:18:58 Schedule Name: NORMAL_DAILY_10PM_START 07/28/2004 19:18:58 Action: Incremental 07/28/2004 19:18:58 Objects: 07/28/2004 19:18:58 Options: 07/28/2004 19:18:58 Server Window Start: 22:00:00 on 07/28/2004 07/28/2004 19:18:58 ------------------------------------------------------------ 07/28/2004 19:18:58 Command will be executed in 3 hours and 48 minutes. 07/28/2004 19:18:58 Time remaining until execution: Querying server for next scheduled event. 07/28/2004 19:20:29 Node Name: BRIMSERVER2MAIL 07/28/2004 19:20:29 Session established with server SERVER1: MVS 07/28/2004 19:20:29 Server Version 5, Release 1, Level 7.0 07/28/2004 19:20:29 Server date/time: 07/28/2004 19:20:47 Last access: 07/28/2004 15:20:47 07/28/2004 19:20:29 --- SCHEDULEREC QUERY BEGIN 07/28/2004 19:20:29 --- SCHEDULEREC QUERY END 07/28/2004 19:20:29 Next operation scheduled: 07/28/2004 19:20:29 ------------------------------------------------------------ 07/28/2004 19:20:29 Schedule Name: NORMAL_DAILY_10PM_START 07/28/2004 19:20:29 Action: Incremental 07/28/2004 19:20:29 Objects: 07/28/2004 19:20:29 Options: 07/28/2004 19:20:29 Server Window Start: 22:00:00 on 07/28/2004 07/28/2004 19:20:29 ------------------------------------------------------------ 07/28/2004 19:20:29 Command will be executed in 2 hours and 53 minutes. 07/28/2004 19:20:29 Then, when the backup kicked off, I got this: Executing scheduled command now. 07/28/2004 22:13:29 Node Name: BRIMSERVER2MAIL 07/28/2004 22:13:29 Session established with server SERVER1: MVS 07/28/2004 22:13:29 Server Version 5, Release 1, Level 7.0 07/28/2004 22:13:29 Server date/time: 07/28/2004 22:13:47 Last access: 07/28/2004 19:20:47 07/28/2004 22:13:29 --- SCHEDULEREC OBJECT BEGIN NORMAL_DAILY_10PM_START 07/28/2004 22:00:00 07/28/2004 22:13:29 Please enter NetWare user for "BRIM_SERVER2": Executing scheduled command now. 07/28/2004 23:06:58 Node Name: BRIMSERVER2 07/28/2004 23:06:58 Session established with server SERVER1: MVS 07/28/2004 23:06:58 Server Version 5, Release 1, Level 7.0 07/28/2004 23:06:58 Data compression forced off by the server 07/28/2004 23:06:58 Server date/time: 07/28/2004 23:07:16 Last access: 07/28/2004 19:19:16 07/28/2004 23:06:58 --- SCHEDULEREC OBJECT BEGIN NORMAL_DAILY_10PM_START 07/28/2004 22:00:00 07/28/2004 23:06:58 Incremental backup of volume 'BRIM_SERVER2\SYS:' 07/28/2004 23:06:58 Incremental backup of volume 'BRIM_SERVER2\DATA:' 07/28/2004 23:07:20 ANS1898I ***** Processed 2,500 files ***** 07/28/2004 23:07:20 Directory--> 0 SYS:/ [Sent] etc etc The BRIMSERVER2MAIL node's logs are empty.
