Look up the "help" information for message ANR2579E, that will give you some direction. Also would be helpful to know the full server and client versions you are using, output from Q EV F=D for this event and node name, and Q SCHED F=D for this schedule.
Regarding the include/exclude question: more information is needed. Look at "dsmc query inclexcl" output to make sure that the directories are indeed excluded. Maybe someone changed the include-exclude file, or changed the "inclexcl" option to point to a different file, or changed a client option set on the server, or changed the node to use a different client option set, Or maybe your dsm.sys file has multiple stanzas, and you are using a stanza with different include-exclude settings. Or you might have EXCLUDE instead of EXCLUDE.DIR, etc. Regards, Andy Andy Raibeck IBM Software Group Tivoli Storage Manager Client Development Internal Notes e-mail: Andrew Raibeck/Tucson/[EMAIL PROTECTED] Internet e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] IBM Tivoli Storage Manager support web page: http://www-306.ibm.com/software/sysmgmt/products/support/IBMTivoliStorageManager.html The only dumb question is the one that goes unasked.
