Tip on include-exclude processing: Especially on Windows platforms, be
careful of the difference between the patterns of double wildcard (*.*) and
single wildcard (*). In an INCLUDE/EXCLUDE statement, these patterns are
processed differently. The specification INCLUDE C:\WORK\* will match all
files in the WORK directory. The specification INCLUDE C:\WORK\*.* will
match files in the WORK directory only if they include the period or dot. For the
backup commands, however, the patterns are considered the same. For
example, the two commands DSMC INCREMENTAL C:\WORK\* and DSMC
INCREMENTAL C:\WORK\*.* both match all files.
Therefore, if you put INCLUDE C:\WORK\*.* in your INCLUDE/EXCLUDE list
and then issue the command DSMC INCREMENTAL C:\WORK\* you will not
see any files without the dot being backed up. This is because they do not
match the INCLUDE rule (assuming an EXCLUDE statement excludes
everything else).
We recommend that you configure all include/exclude options with a single
wildcard (for example, INCLUDE C:\WORK\*, EXCLUDE D:\TEMP\*) to avoid
potential hard-to-diagnose problems, unless you have a specific requirement
for files with dots in their names.
The next example illustrates the relationship between wildcards in the
INCLUDE/EXCLUDE statements and backup commands.
