Hello Justin, Exclude.dir statements take precedence over all includes and includes, so you cannot include some files that reside on directories excluded by a exclude.dir. Your options would be:
1) code all the individual exclude.dir statements, leaving alone the one you want; 2) Use the virtualmountpoint statement in your configuration file, therefore making the desired directory appear as a separate mount point for backup purposes.

I need to exclude oradata files from the OS incremental backup "exclude.dir /exlibris1/oradat*" where they lice but I need to backup (include some *.archive files in same path but in subdirectories) I have included the archive path /exlibris2/oradata/aleph1/arch/ but it still thinks that they are excluded with the inclexcl statements I have listed below, Does any one see what would help us to exclude what we need to but include what we need to backup in the sub-path ? INCLEXCL file exclude.dir /exlibris1/oradat* exclude.dir /exlibris2/oradat* include /exlibris2/oradata/aleph1/arch/ exclude.dir /var/run exclude.dir /etc/mnttab exclude.dir /proc exclude.dir /backup I am not seeing something.... Thanks for any help. Justin
