If I use:

Exclude*:\...\logcaster\...\*

Will that exclude subdirectories as well within the logcaster directory.  I
want to exclude everything under logcaster including files and
subdirectories

Correct your entry. It should read

    exclude.dir *:\...\logcaster\

Ideally, rather than the exclude.dir, you could exclude the files you wish
with

    exclude *:\...\logcaster\...\*

This choice will allow you to backup (and restore) the directory structure
under "logcaster" without having to backup troublesome files within the
structure.

        I want to exclude some directories from being backed up so I can
stop the
        file backup failure notifications I get.  So I created the following
server
        client opt statement and assigned it to the options set of this
client but
        it doesn't appear to be working.  I don't set my client opts in the
dsm.opt
        files on each client I try to make them server defined client opts
just to
        have a central place to control things.



        Here is the client option statement I am using but it doesn't appear
to be
        working because I keep getting messages about file backup failures
for that
        directory.  The drive it is trying to backup is a local drive so I
don't now
        why the UNC path is showing in the error log





        Exclude.dir *:\...\logcaster\*





        Here is the message I keep getting.
