Hi Liming,

Include exclude lists are a common area of confusion for new users to TSM - on the one hand they look as though they should be quite straightforward; on the next glance they might appear overly complicated; on final study, one understands the rationale behind why they necessarily are how they are and realises just how powerful and flexible they can be.

If I understand your question correctly, I'll attempt to answer it in two ways - firstly, RTFM  :o) See following links to the TSM Windows Backup Archive Client

http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/tivihelp/v1r1/topic/com.ibm.itsmc.doc/ans6000052.htm#idx129
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/tivihelp/v1r1/topic/com.ibm.itsmc.doc/ans6000053.htm#idx130

http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/tivihelp/v1r1/topic/com.ibm.itsmc.doc/ans6000055.htm#idx202

Next, some things you should know about exclude.fs: it takes precedence over any other 'normal' excludes or includes, as does exclude.dir etc - so logically, it will always be processed first, irrespective of actually order in your list.

However, and most importantly here, EXCLUDE.FS is, I believe, a UNIX client only option, and not valid on Windows clients such as your example below. To achieve what you're looking for, try the following (deleting your existing includes and excludes from your dsm.opt first of all):

exclude "d:\*"
exclude "d:\...\*"
include "d:\d270.jpg"

Hope that helps,
