Ok, then I'll describe the reason behind my question. I have a disk that
is backuped via BACKUP/IMAGE... in a genereal routine/cycle with all the
other disks, at repeating intervals, etc. . Next, there is an application that
produces huge files on this disk. These files are backuped separately and
deleted after they have been saved to tape (BACKUP/DELETE). The files appear
somewhat arbitrary and disappear. Now the regular backup of the disk shouldn't
copy these arbitrary files that are all in a separate directory. So I thought
/EXCLUDE=this_directory could achieve just that. Now that it does not, what
else is possible?
