Agreed; here is what my DEFINE command looks like for a windows Exclude: define clientopt win2kserver inclexcl "exclude *:\...\netscape*\...\cache\*" seq=130
You don't have to restart the client service. You can also check it without waiting for your overnight backups: On the client machine, start the command line version of the client Enter: Q incl You will see a list of all the effective excludes; if a line is tagged "server", the exclude was pushed from the server via cloptset; if it says dsm.opt, it came from the dsm.opt file. One warning: the output from q incl displays incl/exl sorted as they will match from top down, not bottpm up like the dsm.opt file (go figure...) -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Troy Frank Sent: Tuesday, November 16, 2004 1:24 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: client option sets On our windows clients here, I found that I needed to enclose all incl/exl commands in the cloptset with single quotes. Didn't have to for netware,vms, or tru64, but for some reason the windows clients wanted them. I'm not 100% sure if cloptset changes need to be followed by a restart of the client services, but I've always done it just to be safe.

Do I have to restart my node's client or sched in order for such a change to take affect. I am pretty sure the syntax is correct because they worked fine when used in a local dsm.opt incl/excl file. I could always just restart the services on the windows 2000 client but I wanted to run it by the list to make sure that everything else looked fine instead of waiting for my backups to run again. R.
