Make sure you are verifying via 'dsmc query inclexcl' as Andy specified - not looking at your options file, which tells only part of the story. > > Also noticed ,image incremental backs up any new directories created in > internal direc but not new files created in internal directories. You don't say if you've followed Andy's recommendation to review the incrbydate rules relative to the files involved. Under the topic "Full and partial incremental backup" in the client manual you'll see the full set of criteria for determining if a file should be backed up in an ordinary incremental, as well as directory backup rules. The key criterion here for files is "Date or time of last modification". It is possible for files to be planted in a file system with an old date, or have their datestamp set back, depending upon the file system and operating system. Inspect the attributes of some of the files involved to see what the situation is. Richard Sims http://people.bu.edu/rbs/
